1. A video system, comprising:
- a remote control;
a receiver controlled by the remote control for receiving a plurality of video channels; and
a gateway controlled by the remote control for providing the video channels to the receiver, wherein the gateway has a power on state and a power off state, wherein the gateway in the power on state provides a video channel selected by a user of the system, and wherein the gateway in the power off state provides a predefined video channel to the receiver that is different than the user selected video channel.

Abstract
A system for receiving network video includes a remote control with a power control input. A video receiver, controlled by the remote control, powers up or powers down based on a control signal indicating activation of the power control input. The video receiver receives video signals from a gateway or gateway source connected to the video network. The gateway decodes signals received from the network into a format acceptable by the receiver. If the gateway receives a control signal from the remote control indicating activation of the power control input and the gateway is currently in the “on” state, the gateway toggles to the “off” state and outputs a predefined channel to the receiver.

11. A video gateway for providing video channels from a video network to a video receiver, the gateway toggled between an on condition and an off condition in response to power selection by a user, the gateway comprising:
a control program operated in response to power selection, wherein the program provides a video channel from the gateway to the video receiver that is selected by a user of the gateway when the gateway is in the on condition, and wherein the control program switches from the user selected video channel to predefined content other than the user selected channel after the gateway is toggled from the on condition to the off condition. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method for power synchronization between a video receiver and a gateway that are controlled by a user operated control device, wherein the gateway provides video signals to the receiver representing a plurality of video channels, wherein each of the video receiver and the gateway have an on state and an off state, and wherein the gateway provides a video channel selected by a user when the gateway is in the on state, the method comprising:
-
providing a control signal from the control device to toggle the gateway between the on state to the off state; and providing a predefined channel from the gateway to the receiver that is different than the user selected video channel, after the gateway is toggled from the on state to the off state. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
