SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AGGREGATED CONTENT DISTRIBUTION.

摘要

A method and system for controlling a local content aggregated system includes a switch module receiving a plurality of external channel signals, a plurality of user receiving devices and a local headend generating a local channel signal. The local headend also communicates the local channel signal to the switch module and communicates local program guide data corresponding to the local channel signal to the plurality of user receiving devices. The plurality of user receiving devices receives external program guide data corresponding to the plurality of external channels. The user receiving device selects either a first external channel signal from a plurality of external channel signals or the local channel signal at the program guide to form a selection signal corresponding to a selected channel at a first user receiving device of the plurality of user receiving devices. The user receiving device communicates the selection signal to the switch module from the first receiving device. The switch module switches the switch module in response to the selection signal and communicates the selected channel signal to the first user receiving device.
