9. A media device, comprising:
-
a program content stream interface configured to receive a program content stream with a program of interest therein; a remote control signal detector configured to receive a remote control communication signal transmitted from a remote control associated with at least one media device operation preference, wherein the remote control communication signal includes a unique identifier identifying the transmitting remote control; and a processor system communicatively coupled to the program content stream interface and the remote control signal detector, and wherein the processor system is configured to; determine that at least one foreign language preference is associated with the transmitting remote control based upon the unique identifier in the received remote control communication signal; and reconfigure information generated by the media device into the preferred foreign language. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
