A system and apparatus for transmitting data to a plurality of user devices located in a particular area, where the devices are capable of processing received data to generate audio or video and where the devices are capable of receiving user inputs in order to select from a group of available programmes, where said available programmes are selected with reference to predetermined criteria by a server. Preferably the group of available programmes are a subset of the programmes or channels for which data is broadcast to the server from one or more of satellite, cable, DAB, DVBT transmission services. Preferably the predefined criteria are determined by the service provider for the defined area or the owner or operator of the premises at the defined area. Preferably the data received at the server is adapted into an Internet Protocol format by the server. Preferably the adaption includes Forward Error Correction and/or transcoding of the data. Preferably the adaption includes a reduction of the bit rate at which data is to be wirelessly transmitted to ensure reliable transmission of data. Preferably the defined area is a high density populated environment such as a café, public transport terminus or any public building. |
