Abstract

During the development of Low Power Mode (LPM) (also known as L2 Mode) for DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) systems, it has become apparent that one of the most important issues is the impact on deployed legacy DSL systems. Legacy DSL systems are not capable of operating in the presence of large changes in crosstalk noise from neighbouring lines entering and exiting LPMs. For example, prior LPM methods at least do not assure that legacy lines will be protected to guarantee that no retrains will occur. These and other issues are addressed herein.

Claims (4)

1. A television, the television controllable using a remote control, the television configured to perform a method comprising:

initiating a high-definition television (HDTV) streaming application that requires at least 5 Mbps;

triggering a portion of the television to enter a low power mode when the HDTV streaming application becomes inactive; and

receiving a signal from the remote control that causes the television to exit the low power mode and activate the HDTV streaming application, wherein the HDTV streaming application is activated in less than 2 seconds from the time when the signal is received from the remote control.
