Method and apparatus for acquiring media services available from content aggregators

摘要

A method for generating a unified list of media services available from a plurality of content aggregators having different data formats. A first list of media services from a first content aggregator is transmitted to a playback device. A second list of media services from a second content aggregator is also transmitted to the playback device, which combines both lists into a unified list of media services. The method optionally details the playback of a media service from said plurality of content aggregators via a selection made on the unified list to a playback device.
