ABSTRACT:
The present invention involves a system, apparatus, and method for providing private in-band data to digital set-top boxes in a broadcast environment. In one example, a digital set-top box conforming to the present invention includes one or more programmatic identifiers, such as a manufactures identification, a product identification, and software application identifications. On a channel and at a time, the set-top box receives a broadcast transmission of in-band update data, such as profile data or software code, with matching identifiers. Upon receipt of the broadcast transmission having matching identifiers, the in-band update data is stored in a memory of the set-top box or the appropriate application is modified.
