A method of controlling a plurality of devices using a wireless home entertainment hub, the plurality of devices including a primary display device and at least one secondary display device, the method comprising:
- transmitting, by the wireless home entertainment hub, video content to be displayed by the primary display device;
- capturing, by the wireless home entertainment hub, a video frame in the video content being displayed by the primary display device;
- transmitting, by the wireless home entertainment hub, the captured video frame to a first secondary display device to display;
- recognizing, by the wireless home entertainment hub, an internet address displayed in the video content being displayed by the primary display device;
- and
- transmitting, by the wireless home entertainment hub, content from a website corresponding to the displayed internet address to a second secondary display device to display .
A method of controlling a plurality of devices using a wireless home entertainment hub, the plurality of devices including a primary display device, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by the wireless home entertainment hub, a registration with each of the plurality of devices, the registration preventing the plurality of devices from being registered with a different wireless home entertainment hub;
- assigning each of the plurality of devices to respective zones;
- transmitting, by the wireless home entertainment hub, video content to be displayed by the primary display device;
- capturing, by the wireless home entertainment hub, a video frame in the video content being displayed by the primary display device;
