I never realised Gateway (aka Amiga Dev LLC) had filed quite so many patents.  They all seem to relate to a STB/PVR type device, seemingly decoding digital TV services, merging EPGs properly, adding internet streamable TV services to a channel list with broadcast channels, searching for channel tuning information by entering a channel id, even automatically deciding what your favourite channels are (isn't this similar to what TiVo and the Windows 2000 start menu does?)

Quite curious.  Didn't Gateway release some sort of Internet STB not long after AI bought the Amiga name from them?
