And, want the stream of another channel of recording this moment, because POD module 205 once can't be decrypted more than one channel, then the state with not deciphering is stored among the HDD (Hard Disk Drive) 208 by Tripledemux and HDD controller 207.In the time of in as above being stored into HDD 208, to the TS that is in encrypted state again affix time stamp store.
In stored encryption stream continues to be stored into process among the HDD 208, check whether the user is watching broadcasting; In the user does not watch the time of broadcasting, then from HDD 208, read stream and transmit to POD module 205.(S60)
At this moment, whether the user is being watched the condition that broadcasting is judged is whether MPEGTS (Transport Stream) is confirmed (S40) from 2 Tuner, 201,202 outputs, and also to whether existing the stream of broadcast to confirm among the HDD 208.(S50)
Through confirming, if above-mentioned stream does not export, then be judged as the user and do not watch broadcasting, and read the stream of the encryption of being write down and transmit to POD module 205.
At this moment, owing to make definition in specification, even so that the user closes the power supply of open cable receiving system, the open cable receiving system also can be and communicates with the wired broadcasting platform and open internal electric source, thereby can successfully carry out above-mentioned action.
The stream of 205 pairs of receptions of POD module is decrypted.Through the mux of the clear stream of deciphering by being positioned at Triple demux 203 front ends to Triple demux 203 feedbacks (feedback).
The additional once more independently timestamp of the clear stream of 203 pairs of above-mentioned deciphering of Triple demux also records among the HDD 208 once more by HDD controller 207, and by playing smoothly after the stream that the stream that is write down is carried out information updating (update), make being write down.(S80)
As above, in reading HDD 208 in stored encryption stream and the process handled, watch once more the user under the situation of broadcasting (S100), then be stored into the terminal hard disk position of being read till current, and the information of the terminal hard disk position that stores after deciphering is stored and manages.(S110)
After this, if the user finish to watch, then utilize stored information to proceed follow-up work, will encrypt stream and all be converted to clear stream and be stored among the HDD 208; By this, can successfully watch the stream that is write down later on.
