Abstract
An on-screen display is generated for an MPEG compliant receiver. Externally of the MPEG compliant receiver, an MPEG transport stream is accessed, first data in the accessed MPEG transport stream is replaced with second data that relates to the data to be provided in the on-screen display, and the MPEG transport stream with the second data is remodulated as an RF signal. The RF signal is forwarded to the MPEG compliant receiver. The first data can be close caption data, and the second data can be installation and/or configuration menu data.
