Media device and method of enhancing use of media device

A media device comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive a broadcast media stream transmitted by a broadcast system;
• a transceiver configured to communicate with a cellular telecommunication system and to receive a service transmitted over a radio interface of the cellular telecommunication system, the service being associated with the broadcast media stream and comprising information about the frequencies used to transmit the broadcast media stream in different locations;
• a memory for storing frequency information;
• a controller connected to the receiver, transceiver and the memory, and configured to measure signal strength of the broadcast media transmission at the frequency the media transmission is received and at least at one other frequency used for transmission of the media transmission, compare the measured signal strengths and to switch the reception of the media transmission to another frequency if the signal strength at said frequency is greater than the signal strength at the current frequency.

A media device comprising:

• receiving means for receiving a broadcast media stream transmitted by a broadcast system;
• communication means for communicating with a cellular telecommunication system and for receiving a service transmitted over a radio interface of the cellular telecommunication system, the service being associated with the broadcast media stream and comprising information about frequencies used to transmit the broadcast media stream in different locations;
• memory means for storing frequency information;
• and
• controlling means, connected to the receiving means, communication means and the memory means, for measuring signal strength of the broadcast media transmission at the frequency the media transmission is received and at least one other frequency used for transmission of the media transmission, for comparing the measured signal strengths and for switching the reception of the media transmission to another frequency if the signal strength at said frequency is greater than the signal strength at the current frequency.

A computer readable medium encoding a computer program of instructions for executing a computer process, the process comprising:

• receiving, over a radio interface of a cellular telecommunication system, a service transmission associated with a received broadcast media stream transmitted by a broadcast system at a given frequency, the service transmission comprising information about frequencies used to transmit the broadcast media stream in different locations;
• measuring signal strength of the broadcast media transmission at the frequency the media transmission is received and at least at one other frequency used for transmission of the media transmission;
• comparing the measured signal strengths;
• and
• switching the reception of the media transmission to another frequency if the signal strength at said frequency is greater than the signal strength at the current frequency.
