Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système de téléchargement et, plus particulièrement, un système de téléchargement de fonctions vers des emplacements de réception (50) situés dans un système de télévision (10). Ces fonctions peuvent être requises par le fabricant pour effectuer des corrections des logiciels, des remises à jour des logiciels ou pour satisfaire les besoins de compatibilité. Ces fonctions peuvent également être commandées par le client, suite à des réclames (130) concernant de telles fonctions. Les données associées auxdites fonctions sont compilées et envoyées de l'emplacement principal (20) vers des emplacements de réception multiples (46, 48 et 50). Ces données sont ensuite enregistrées dans une mémoire (58) dans des emplacements de réception identifiés (50) et un logiciel est utilisé pour les installer et les exploiter.
