Abstract
A media device control system is provided herein. The media device control system receives a first indication of a geographic location of a set-top box associated with a user and receives a second indication of data representing one or more vacation time periods based on the geographic location. The media device control system determines that the user is predicted to be on vacation within a period of time based on the data representing the one or more vacation time periods and the geographic location. The media device control system receives user input confirming that the user will go on vacation within the period of time. The media device control system causes the set-top box to transmit signals to activate a television during the period of time based on the user input indicating that the user will go on vacation within the period of time.
