1. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium storing instructions thereon, the instructions, when executed by a first consumer electronic device, cause the first consumer electronic device to perform steps comprising:
detecting that a second consumer electronic device has been coupled to the first consumer electronic device;
in response to detecting that the second consumer electronic device has been coupled to the first consumer electronic device, causing a first network signal having data indicative of a device identifier uniquely associated with the first consumer electronic device and an additional information indicating the second consumer electronic device to be transmitted to a provisioning service whereupon the first network signal will be used by the provisioning service to identify a configuration information for the first consumer electronic device;
receiving the configuration information identified by the provisioning service; and
using the configuration information to configure the first consumer electronic device with one or more advertisements for display via use of a display device coupled to the first consumer electronic device.
