Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a Set-Top Box (STB) that in addition to outputting a TV signal to an external TV set also supports conferencing between different users located at different locations. When a user is engaged in a conferencing session he may at the same time also view and listen to a TV program on the TV set. The STB of the present disclosure is able to cancel audio disturbances in the outgoing audio signal of the session that might be caused by the TV audio signal played by the TV speaker penetrating the session as a result of being received by the video conferencing microphone.
