A broadcast medium distribution system ( 100 ) provides for delivery of broadcast media over a large number of possible content channels over a broadband network ( 40 ) to a television or other display device via a player ( 20 ). Audio and graphical still frame program content are produced by a producer ( 30 ) and delivered over the broadband network ( 40 ) to a network server ( 10 ) for scheduled streaming to players ( 20 ). Each player ( 20 ) is provided with a unique and unchangeable identifier so that broadcast media may be securely delivered to players ( 20 ) on an individualized subscription basis.
