Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer readable media may be operable to facilitate the coordination of multiple devices to provide multiple services. A legacy set-top box (STB) configured to provide legacy services may be connected to an enhanced STB that is configured to provide enhanced services. The enhanced STB may include a switch that is configured to switch a content input source between the legacy STB and the enhanced STB. The legacy STB may receive user requests for content, and based on the type of content requested, the legacy STB may output a signal to the enhanced STB directing that the input source be switched according to the type of content requested. A user interface output from the legacy STB may provide a user with one or more menu items for requesting a legacy service or enhanced service.
