1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a first interface to receive content from a content provider;
a second interface to be wirelessly coupled to a device; and
a processor to decrypt a portion, but not all, of the received content prior to any of the received content provided to the device, the processor to determine whether the device is a compliant device after the decryption of the portion of the received content, and after wireless coupling of the device to the apparatus, but prior to any of the received content provided to the device,the processor further to prevent further decryption of at least a portion of the content received through the first interface when the device is determined to be a non-compliant device,wherein the content is one or more of audio files, image files, video or chat files, games, documents, texts or applications.

10. A method comprising:
-
receiving content through a first interface at a receiver; decrypting, at the receiver, a portion, but not all, of the received content prior to providing any of the received content to a device wirelessly coupled to the receiver; detecting a wireless coupling of the device to a second interface at the receiver; after decrypting at the receiver and after detecting the wireless coupling, but prior to providing any of the received content to the device, determining the device to be a non-compliant device; and preventing further decryption of at least a portion of the content received through the first interface when the device is determined to be a non-compliant device, wherein the first and second interfaces are included within a same receiver, wherein the content is one or more of audio files, image files, video or chat files, games, documents, texts or applications. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A device comprising:
-
first logic to receive a first signal of content to be received from a content provider through a first interface; second logic to receive a second signal indicative of a wireless coupling of an external device to a second interface; and third logic coupled between the first interface and the second interface, the third logic to decrypt a portion, but not all, of the received content prior to any of the received content provided to the external device, and to determine whether the external device is a non-compliant device after the decryption of the portion and after receipt of at least the second signal, the third logic further to prevent further decryption of at least a portion of the received content when the device is determined to be a non-compliant device and prior to any of the received content provided to the external device, wherein the content is one or more of audio files, image files, video or chat files, games, documents, texts or applications. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a
program for controlling a receiver, the program comprising: -
first code to determine that a device to be wirelessly coupled to the receiver is a non-compliant device; second code to decrypt, at the receiver, a portion, but not all, of content received from a content provider through an interface of the receiver prior to any of the received content provided to the device, and to prevent further decryption of at least a portion of the content received through the interface when the device is determined to be a non-compliant device and prior to any of the received content provided to the device, wherein the content is one or more of audio files, image files, video or chat files, games, documents, texts or applications. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25)
