Abstract

A system is disclosed which permits the user interface of a PC (2) to be extended to the location of a remote television (TV) receiver (4) such that video and audio signals generated by the PC may be viewed and heard on the remote TV receiver, and users at the TV may control the operations of the PC through input devices (27a, 27b, 27c, 27d) located at the TV receiver. Through the disclosed interface extension system, video signals and accompanying audio signals, if any, generated by the PC are transmitted locally to a receiver (8) coupled to the remote TV receiver.
