1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • identifying code for a computer-based portable program module that is configured to be displayed on a computer-based display;

    automatically altering the code for the computer-based portable program module to adapt the module to be displayed on a television-based display, including;

    determining that one or more pieces of content in the computer-based portable program module do not satisfy a display constraint of the television-based display, andremoving the one or more pieces of content in the computer-based portable program module that are determined to not satisfy the display constraint of the television-based display; and

    providing the altered code for execution on one or more processors operably coupled to a particular television-based display,wherein determining that the one or more pieces of content do not satisfy the display constraint of the television-based display comprises identifying textual content and non-textual content that are each arranged for display in the module, and comparing the textual content with the non-textual content to determine whether at least a portion of the non-textual content expresses the same or similar subject matter as the textual content,wherein removing the one or more pieces of content in the module comprises deleting the at least a portion of the non-textual content in response to determining that the at least a portion of the non-textual content expresses the same or similar subject matter as the textual content.
