Abstract
Systems (1) comprising receiving devices (2) for receiving broadcast information from sources (3), which is converted into audio/video information, are made more user friendly by introducing triggering devices (4) for, in response to user actions, transmitting selection information defining parts of the broadcast information to collecting apparatuses (5) and by retrieving additional information linked to the part of the broadcasting information. The user only needs to activate the transmission of the selection information, and then the additional information is retrieved automatically, from the sources (3) or from other media (6). The broadcast information comprises part codes defining the parts of the broadcast information and/or comprises source codes defining the sources (3), and the systems (1) further comprise time/date stamp adders (25,45,55) for adding time/date stamps to the source codes. Memories (26,46,56) store user profiles. The collecting apparatuses (5) might be third party collecting apparatuses for collecting additional information such as songs in WAV format and for sending a collection of additional information such as an audio CD to the user.
