Abstract
An Internet server is operatively coupled to a configurable set-top terminal (STT), thereby providing remote access to the configurable STT through the Internet server. The Internet server is configured to provide web-pages that preferably emulate the user interface for the configurable STT. In that regard, a subscriber can log into the Internet server and configure the configurable STT from various devices that are Internet-compatible. The Internet server is configured to translate input by the subscriber into configuration information for the configurable STT that is pushed out to the configurable STT directly after being received from the subscriber.
