Systems and methods relating to a dual-mode Set-Top Box (STB) providing improved availability of a Linear Television (LTV) channel by using an Internet Protocol (IP) Television (IPTV) service as a fallback mechanism for a Direct-To-Home (DTH) satellite service. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a dual-mode STB that consumes content from a DTH satellite system when operating in a DTH satellite mode and consumes content from an IPTV system when operating in an IPTV mode comprises consuming content on a LTV channel in the DTH satellite mode and deciding whether to switch to the IPTV mode before consumption of content on the LTV channel in the DTH satellite mode is compromised. The method further comprises, upon deciding to switch modes, switching from the DTH satellite mode to the IPTV mode. The method further comprises, after switching modes, consuming content on the LTV channel in the IPTV mode.

A system and method for automatically storing a geographic position, without requiring user interaction, makes use of the ability of a location-aware mobile device to detect its state of motion using velocity or type of movement information. A transition between motion states is used to determine a parking location of a vehicle.
