Abstract
A television (TV) broadcast signal is received and routed to a TV display. An audio data stream or ancillary data stream in the TV broadcast, (such as closed-captioning), is scanned to determine if a uniform resource locator (URL) is included in the TV broadcast. If a URL is identified in the TV broadcast, then the URL can be loaded in a web browser on a computer for a user to refer to when convenient.
