METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING A DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING GUIDE CONTAINING FUTURE TIMES WHEN ON-DEMAND BROADCASTING REQUESTS CAN BE SATISFIED

摘要

An audio-visual content service provider (400) processor (401) receives (101) at least one on-demand broadcasting request for particular audio-visual content from an end user (405). The processor then determines (102) at least one future time at which the on-demand broadcasting request can likely be satisfied and provides (103) a corresponding dynamic programming guide to the end user that comprises, at least in part, this at least one future time.
