1. A telecommunications receiver, comprising:
- means for associating categories with bit indices of a broadcast indicator bit stream;
means for waking up on a periodic basis to receive one or more bits in the broadcast indicator bit stream located at said bit indices;
means for receiving said one or more bits;
means for comparing each of said one or more bits to an on or off value; and
