Abstract
Various embodiments provide a system and methods for generating geographical models, determining geographical locations of set-top boxes using the geographical models, and modifying behavior of the set-top boxes based on their geographical locations. The set-top boxes determine their own geographical locations, regardless of whether the set-top boxes are capable of transmitting data to a content provider or include specialized equipment, such as a global positioning system, for determining geographical location.
