Abstract

The present invention is a system and method for linking a broadcast signal to a website. The system embeds command data into a broadcast signal; transmits the broadcast signal to a home entertainment appliance; plays the broadcast signal on the home entertainment appliance; extracts the command data from the broadcast signal emanating from the home entertainment appliance with a remote sensing device; transfers the command data from the remote sensing device to an internet appliance; and access the website based upon the command data. The command data, which includes URLs and special codes, is embedded into the audio portion of the broadcast signal. The Internet appliance may be pre-loaded with website pages based upon pre-specified user preference information and the accessed if present with the Internet appliance based upon the command data.
