based on the additional data received from more than one of the data gathering devices, determining that the portable user device has moved to a second location in the customer premises;

based on the second location, adjusting the stationary display of the user interface such that the adjustable element is adjusted; and

determining at least one of the first location of the portable device and the second location of the portable device by using data from the sensor device relating to a presence of a user and also data from the wireless node indicating a strength of a signal from the wireless node.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising displaying a stream of media content received via a network.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising adjusting the adjustable element by at least one of re-sizing the adjustable element and changing an audio volume.

9. The method of claim 6 , further comprising determining at least one of the first location of the user device and the second location of the user device in part according to location data provided in the portable user device in addition to the data as well as the additional data received from more than one of the data gathering devices.

10. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

determining a third location of a second user device in the customer premises;

determining a priority between the first user device and the second user device; and

adjusting the stationary display of the user interface such that the adjustable element is adjusted at least in part based on the priority.

11. A system, comprising:

a plurality of data gathering computing devices programmed to provide data relating to a location of a portable user device in a customer premises; and

a display-providing computing device that includes a processor and a memory, the display-providing computing device programmed to:

receive data relating to a location of the portable user device in the customer premises from more than one of the data gathering computing devices;

based on the data received from more than one of the data gathering computing devices, determine a first location of the portable user device in the customer premises;

provide a display of a user interface that includes an adjustable element;

receive additional data relating to a location of the portable user device in the customer premises from more than one of the data gathering computing devices;

based on the additional data received from more than one of the data gathering computing devices, determine that the portable user device has moved to a second location in the customer premises;

based on the second location, adjust the display of the user interface such that the adjustable element is adjusted;

determine a third location of a second user device in the customer premises;

determine a priority between the first user device and the second user device; and

adjust the stationary display of the user interface such that the adjustable element is adjusted at least in part based on the priority.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the display-providing computing device is further programmed to display a stream of media content received via a network.
