A method for finding out address information of a data source in a data transmission system comprises at least one data transmission stream (TS) for transmitting information on at least one data source preferably in packet form, wherein the packets contain information on which data source they belong to. Further, the method comprises one or more data transmission channels, in which the data transmission streams are conveyed, as well as a name server system for storage of address information of data sources, the address information containing an identification of the data source, such as the title, and information on the data transmission channel to be used for transmission of the data source, and a data receiving device (19). A data transmission connection is formed from the data receiving device (19) to the name server system (22a, 22b, 22c), and the identification of the desired data source is sent in the first form to the name server system (22a, 22b, 22c). In the name server system (22a, 22b, 22c), the identification of the data source is compared with the identification of the data source to be searched for, wherein when the identification of the data source searched for is found in the address information, the address is converted to a second form to comprise advantageously information on the transmission channel to be used for data transmission of the data source, and the address is returned in the second form to the data receiving device (19). <IMAGE> |
