In certain embodiments, the remote control 106 includes a video camera 246, such as a CCD (charge-coupled device) digital video camera. The video camera 246 allows a user to capture and send video signals to the STB 102. For example, the video camera 246 may capture images of a customerʼs screen to aid a support technician in resolving the customerʼs problem. In one implementation, the video camera 246 is in electrical communication with the wireless transmitter 202 for sending the captured video signal to the STB 102. Various techniques for encoding and transmitting video signals may be used that are well known to those skilled in the art.
