Abstract

The selection of multimedia offerings is simplified by the transmission of an electronic ticket loaded from a computer network with the assistance of a PC onto a set top box. On the set top box, the ticket enables the direct setup of a broadband connection to the server on which the offering is stored without further navigation measures.
