Low resolution information streams are combined in a broadcast carrier and broadcast along with full resolution information streams down a television broadcast network. The low resolution streams may be decoded and displayed in mosaic display with multiple images from separate low resolution streams simultaneously displayed. When a user selects a particular channel to be displayed, a low resolution stream associated with the selected channel is displayed (video and audio) while the full resolution stream is processed for display. Once the full resolution stream is available for display, it replaces the low resolution stream. The user perceives a much lower channel change time by viewing the low resolution stream during the channel change delay. The low resolution stream may also be provided directly to a portable media player (PMP) in a low resolution format required for display by the PMP. |
