Abstract
A set-top box (STB) determines an occurrence of a first STB error during operation of the STB, and identifies a first error code that corresponds to the first STB error. The STB maps the first error code to a first self-help video of multiple self-help videos stored at the STB, and plays back the first self-video via a display device coupled to the STB.
