摘要

An enhanced manner of datacasting and providing broadcast television to portable devices is disclosed, including tuner assistance, improvements in recording and datacasting content, and assisting users in obtaining the optimum experience from their set-up. A small form factor, low cost accessory product such as a WiFi dongle with one or more tuners can be used to provide the single function of delivering content to portable devices. The content can be sourced from broadcast (e.g. ATSC/DVB-T, etc.) and can be in the form of live (linear) television or download (on demand) programming. No Internet connection is required.
