Channels of content and services include, but are not limited to audio and video via cable and broadcast over the air, satellite broadcasts, cell phone service, GPS, Internet, and voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). Content based on context is injected via a switching device between a content provider device, for example cable provider set top box and a projection unit, for example TV. Remote control devices such as a smart phone or mobile communication device, provide a management function and user control with an application resident on the remote control device. A remote control may be configured to select a content channel, store user selection states, project or display computer content onto a TV for web browsing. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system for integrating various multimedia content channels and services for a subscriber's use, said system comprising: a cable set top box/router that receives content and services via an input cable or wireless signal via an antenna from a content provider; an output cable from said cable set top box/router in electrical contact with a display device; a remote control device with a keyboard and a display that communicates via a wireless or wired signal with a signal interceptor/injector; and wherein said signal interceptor/injector acts as a context switching device between said cable set top box/router and said display device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein said remote control device operates with a bifurcated operating system (OS). ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein said interceptor/injection device further comprises a computer or system on a chip that operates with a bifurcated OS. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein said content and services further comprises one or more of audio and video via cable and broadcast over the air, satellite broadcasts, cell phone service, global position satellite (GPS), Internet, and voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The system of claim 4 wherein said cell phone service is provided over a roaming network available to subscribers to said content provider; and wherein said roaming network is secured via secure sockets layer (SSL) tunnels, where ensuring quality of service is performed by a management function on said remote control device. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein said remote control device is configured to select a content channel, store user selection states, project or display computer content onto a TV for web browsing. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6 wherein said remote control device is configured for a selected content channel to be streamed or messaged; and wherein said stream or message is instantaneous since the message only contains a pointer. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6 wherein said pointer is in the form of a channel/URL (universal resource locator) plus point of time. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The system of claim 6 wherein metadata associated with said messages and said subscriber's activity is tracked for ratings and other purposes. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein said remote control device is a smart phone or a portable communication and computing device. ### Claim 11 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2 wherein said bifurcated operating system (OS) is not directly accessible to a user or administrator. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 wherein said remote control is a bring your own device (BYOD). ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1 further comprising intrinsically secure storage, wherein once said remote control device connects to a network other than said intrinsically secure storage, an existing connection to said intrinsically secure storage is disconnected, and any data retrieved by said remote control device from said intrinsically secure storage is cleared or wiped. ### Claim 14 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2 wherein said bifurcated OS is physically separated either by logical separation of said remote control device and function utility devices, or a [dynamic aggregation of multiple devices hybrid composite device] running a bifurcated OS implementation.
