Support for Personal Content in a Multimedia Content Delivery System and Network |
摘要 |
A disclosed set top box (STB) suitable for use in presenting multimedia content is operable to receive multimedia content from a provider content source that is remotely connected to the STB via a provider network. The STB is also operable to receive multimedia content from a personal content source. The personal content source is locally connected to the STB or connected to the STB via a public network. The STB is operable to identify a channel indicated by a remote control signal and determine whether the indicated channel is a provider content channel or a personal content channel. The STB streams multimedia content from the first source when the indicated channel is a provider content channel and from the personal source when the indicated channel is a personal channel. The content from the provider content source and the personal content may be received through different STB interfaces. The personal content may be received from a locally connected source.
