1. A system comprising:
- a STB processor;
a network interface coupled to the STB processor, the network interface connectable to a packet-based network;
a television display coupled to the STB processor;
a decoder coupled to the STB processor and the network interface;
a non-volatile memory coupled to the STB processor; and
a real time operating system to execute in the STB processor, the real time operating system having logic and configuration parameters, the logic configured to limit the delay between receiving a user request and providing a requested action.

Abstract
In an embodiment, a system includes a processor and a network interface coupled to the processor. The network interface is further coupled to a packet-based network. The processor is further connected to a television display, a decoder, and a flash memory. The decoder is also connected to the network interface. The processor is configured to execute a real-time operating system which has logic and configuration parameters for streamlining one or more operations of the processor.

15. A method comprising:
-
configuring a television-based processor to couple to a packet-based network via a network interface and to receive multimedia data from the packet-based network;
configuring the processor to store at least a portion of a real time operating system and at least a portion of configuration parameters into a non-volatile memory; and
configuring the processor to execute the real time operating system in the non-volatile memory upon processor startup so that at least a portion of the multimedia data is promptly displayed as a primary image and a plurality of secondary images on a television display upon a startup of the processor. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
