A content retransmitter receives information for receivers and forms an authorized list by transmitting authentication prompts, receiving authentication information, and adding receivers if the authentication information for the respective receiver is verified to match stored user information. Subsequently, the content retransmitter may receive content and broadcast the received content to some or all of the receivers on the authorized list. Additionally, the content retransmitter may store the received content in a storage medium and provide the stored content to receivers on the authorized list upon request. The user authentication information received from the receivers may be passwords, biometric information, and so on. The received content may be broadcast to a subset of the authorized list corresponding to users who are related to the content. The related users may be determined by examining metadata about the received content, facial recognition analysis of users present in the received content, and so on.

Authenticated broadcast transmission utilizing a content retransmitter

One embodiment may take the form of a system for translating an audio stream of programming content. The system may include an apparatus, a processing unit configured to execute a voice recognition algorithm and one or more executable commands, a receiver coupled to the processing unit and configured to receive a voice command in a first language, a communication component coupled to the processing unit and configured to receive programming content including an audio stream in a second language, and one or more storage media storing the voice recognition algorithm. The voice recognition algorithm may be configured to translate the audio stream into a first language if the first language does not match the second language.

Translating programming content to match received voice command language

A method of providing data associated with reception of media content is presented. In the method, a communication device receives media content from a media content receiver via a communication network. The received media content is output to a user of the communication device. Data is then generated in the communication device which includes information identifying a channel selected by the user over which the media content receiver receives the media content. The data further includes information identifying a time period during which the communication device receives the media content. The data is transferred via the communication network to a communication node.
