<p>A system, method, and content prowler server (34) for creating a catalog of electronic content, wherein a customer accesses the catalog to browse and purchase electronic content, which is downloaded over a network to a customer premises (31) where the electronic content is presented on a rendering device (54-56). Different pieces of the electronic content have different bandwidth requirements and impose different requirements for the rendering device. The server (34) determines whether' customer premises capabilities, including those of the rendering device, meet the requirements of each piece of electronic content and populates the catalog only with pieces of electronic content for which the customer premises capabilities meet the requirements of the electronic content. Alternatively, the server (34) may include all of the electronic content in the catalog while marking those pieces for which the customer premises capabilities do not meet the requirements of the electronic content.</p> |
