ABSTRACT:
A MHP terminal device is provided with a network functionality. In addition to a broadcast interface for receiving a broadcast transport stream, the MHP terminal device comprises a local network interface. Via said interface, the MHP terminal device is connected to a local network, to which other network devices are connected as well. MHP applications can be inserted into local network transport streams transmitted from said network devices to said MHP terminal device. By means of these MHP applications, the network devices can be remotely controlled from the MHP terminal device, whereby commands and messages are exchanged via the local network.
