ABSTRACT:
A television receiver (110) is provided for receiving combination voice/text messages from an external host computer (140) which stores both text and voice information. The television contains a modem (116) which modulates an information request signal output by a controller (113), in response to a user input, to transmit the modulated signal to the host computer (140). The modem (116) also demodulates message signals received from the host computer (140). The received message signals may contain either text information, voice information, or a combination of both text and voice information. The television receiver (110) also contains a TV signal processor (112) which demodulates the broadcast TV signal to generate a TV video signal and a TV audio signal. The TV signal processor (112) also separates any message signals received via the modem (116) into a video information signal and an audio information signal and then combines the video information signal with the TV video signal and the audio information signal with the TV audio signal. The combined video information signal/TV video signal is displayed on the television screen (111). The combined audio information signal/TV audio signal is output via the television's audio speaker (117).
