Abstract

Content distribution systems methods and user interfaces are described wherein a modulator dynamically duplicates output of multiple channels a plurality of receivers are individually tuned to one of the multiple channels wherein a single transport stream can be sent on the multiple channels to each of the desired receivers and wherein the distribution can occur in multiple modes and user interfaces which allow a manager of the content distribution system to dynamically change the channels on each receiver so that each of the receivers can be tuned to one of the multiple channels through the user interface.
