A remote device is capable to receive network address information, such as
uniform resource locator (URL) addresses, and other supplemental content
that are available along with television signal. A set top box coupled to
a television receives the network address information via triggers. The
set top box transmits a television program from a first channel to a
television, and transmits network address information associated with a
second channel to the remote device. After receiving the network address
information, the remote device can display the corresponding supplemental
content while a viewer is watching the first channel on the television.
The supplemental content can include program-related address information
and/or non-programming-related content. In another technique, the viewer
can subscribe certain channels, such that supplemental content on the
subscribed channels is obtained and stored, and can be made available to
the remote device via the set top box or via a different communication
link.
