Ancillary information received, for example, in real time with the HD video or in parallel with the HD video over the Internet is presented in the unused portions of the UHD display along with the HD video. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An ultra high definition (UHD) display device comprising: a UHD display configured for presenting non-UHD video in a native resolution of the non-UHD video, leaving some display portions of the UHD display unused; a processor configured for controlling the UHD display to present the non-UHD video, the processor configured for receiving ancillary information in real time with the non-UHD video or in parallel with the non-UHD video over the Internet, and for presenting, based on the ancillary information, information in the unused display portions of the UHD display along with the non-UHD video, the processor configured to receive a data structure along with the non-UHD video and to present on the UHD display, in response to at least one data element recognized only by UHD displays and being other than the ancillary information in the data structure attached to the non-UHD video, an interface allowing a user to select between presenting the non-UHD video full screen and presenting the non-UHD video partial screen along with the information based on the ancillary information. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the device comprises receiving one or more terrestrial TV broadcast signals by a terrestrial TV broadcast antenna. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the device comprises receiving HDMI baseband signal from a source of TV broadcast signals received by an integrated receiver/decoder (IRD). ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the device comprises receiving a streaming video over a wired or wireless link at RJ45 or 802.11x antenna. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the data structure is attached to the ancillary information. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the data structure is attached to the ancillary information and the data structure is a header. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the ancillary information is embedded in the non-UHD video that is carried in an ATSC stream. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the ancillary information is embedded in the non-UHD video that is carried in an MPEG stream. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the ancillary information is in the form of an interactive application. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the ancillary information is received from a source of TV signals along with the non-UHD video in a common channel with the non-UHD video. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, comprising a user input device configured for communicating with the processor to input first and second user commands, the first user command being to present the non-UHD video on the entire UHD display by upscaling the non-UHD video, the second user command being to present the non-UHD video on a portion of the UHD display and to present on the UHD display the ancillary information along with the non-UHD video. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein when executing instructions by the processor that are borne by a computer readable storage medium, the UHD display presents non-UHD video using at least 1920 lines of the UHD display. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the information in the unused display portions of the UHD display along with the non-UHD video are presented in at least two separate locations. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein two pieces of the information in the unused display portions of the UHD display along with the non-UHD video are presented apart and separate from one another. ### Claim 15 An ultra high definition (UHD) display device comprising: a UHD display configured for presenting non-UHD video in a native resolution of the non-UHD video, leaving some display portions of the UHD display unused; a processor configured for controlling the UHD display to present the non-UHD video, the processor configured for receiving ancillary information in real time with the non-UHD video or in parallel with the non-UHD video over the Internet, and for presenting, based on the ancillary information, information in the unused display portions of the UHD display along with the non-UHD video; the processor configured to receive, along with the non-UHD video, a data structure that includes at least one data element recognized only by UHD displays and other than the ancillary information, the data element when recognized causing the processor to present an interface on the UHD display, the interface allowing a user to select between presenting the non-UHD video full screen and presenting the non-UHD video partial screen along with the information based on the ancillary information. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The device of claim 15, wherein the ancillary information comprises internet browsing information. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The device of claim 15, wherein the ancillary information is at least one of statistics for sporting events, advertising subject matter, and interactive gaming subject matter. ### Claim 18 An ultra high definition (UHD) display device comprising: a UHD display configured for presenting non-UHD video in a native resolution of the non-UHD video, leaving some display portions of the UHD display unused; a processor configured for controlling the UHD display to present the non-UHD video, the processor configured for receiving ancillary information in real time with the non-UHD video or in parallel with the non-UHD video over the Internet, and for presenting, based on the ancillary information, information in the unused display portions of the UHD display along with the non-UHD video, the processor configured to receive, along with the non-UHD video, a data structure that includes a header recognized only by UHD displays, the header including a data element other than the ancillary information, the data element when recognized causes the processor to present an interface on the UHD display, the interface allowing a user to select between presenting the non-UHD video full screen and presenting the non-UHD video partial screen along with the information based on the ancillary information. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The device of claim 18, wherein the ancillary information comprises internet browsing information. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) The device of claim 18, wherein the ancillary information is at least one of statistics for sporting events, advertising subject matter, and interactive gaming subject matter.
