Abstract
A system and method for controlling an audio/video display device. The method includes receiving a data signal which is a portion of a content signal received by the audio/video display device and extracting encoded information from the data signal. The method further includes interpreting the encoded information to determine a corresponding display device control code. The display device control code can then be issued to the audio/video display device to automatically implement an operation thereon contemporaneous to display of content associated with the content signal.
