Abstract
In a subscriber television system having a headend, a server, and plurality of client-receivers, the server, which is remote from the headend, is adapted to receive a validation-message from one or more client-receivers. The validation-message includes content and an authentication-token. The server validates that the sender of the validation-message is a valid client-receiver of the subscriber television system using an authentication-token and a validator that is known to both the server and to at least one of the client-receivers.
