1. A system, comprising:
- a media services client device comprising;
a display device configured to present user-selectable options corresponding to video-on-demand services;
a platform comprising a SAM client;
an operating system separate from the platform, the operating system comprising a resource manager, wherein the resource manager is interfaced with the SAM client to control resources of the media service client device;
a video-on-demand application server component configured to provide the video-on-demand services responsive to user selection of the options; and
a server database remote from the media services client device, wherein the server database stores data in a markup language, the markup language comprising at least a high capacity element and a low capacity element, wherein the high capacity element groups a first plurality of model elements identifying a first plurality of digital home communication terminals and the low capacity element groups a second plurality of model elements identifying a second plurality of digital home communication terminals, and wherein each of the second plurality of digital home communication terminals has fewer applications and less data storage than each of the first plurality of digital home communication terminals, wherein the media service client device further comprises a extensible style sheet (XSL) processor to translate the markup language media-on-demand information to be displayed on the display device.

15. A method, comprising:
-
generating at a media services client device a user interface comprising a movie option, the movie options further comprising a choice of video-on-demand services; displaying the movie option on a display device of the media services client device; communicating with a server database remote from the media services client device, wherein the server database stores data in a markup language comprising at least a high capacity element and a low capacity element, wherein the high capacity element groups a first plurality of model elements identifying a first plurality of digital home communication terminals and the low capacity element groups a second plurality of model elements identifying a second plurality of digital home communication terminals, and wherein each of the second plurality of digital home communication terminals has fewer applications and less data storage than each of the first plurality of digital home communication terminals, wherein the media service client device further comprises a extensible style sheet (XSL) processor to translate the markup language media-on-demand information to be displayed on the display device; providing, by a video-on-demand application server component of the media services client device, a video-on-demand service from the video-on-demand services corresponding to the movie option; and controlling, by a resource manager interfaced with a platform comprising a SAM client, resources of the media services client device, wherein the resource manager is located on an operating system separate from the platform. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
