The video data management, transmission, and control system and method of the present invention allows viewers to, instantly and without delay, view prerecorded, distributed and stored video programs, as well as live-broadcasts. Viewing will appear as if it had been broadcasted in real-time, as opposed to the delays associated with storing and downloading video programs. The system and method of the present invention allows users to, <i>inter alia</i>, control "who views which video" within the user's customer premise equipment (CPE) or in-home local area network (LAN). Users can stop, pause, replay, rewind or fast-forward any segment of the video program, including a live broadcast (with the exception of the fast-forward function), with a remote control. Users can also choose to view stored sub-titles for foreign video programs in the language of their choice.
