SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INSERTING LOCAL CONTENT INTO SATELLITE BROADCAST PROGRAMS AND EPG ON A NETWORK

摘要

The present invention relates to system of inserting locally stored content into satellite broadcast programs and electronic program guides. In particular, the system teaches a method of receiving satellite tuning parameters from a set top box, determine a request for locally stored content, and transmitting a multicast address in response to said reception of satellite tuning parameters. The locally stored content is then transmitted to the receiver over a network using the multicast address.
