Abstract

Bulus dijital abone hatti (DSL) teknolojisi kullanarak tek kanalli bir iletisim baglantisi (24) üzerinden çok kanalli televizyon içeriginin saglanmasi için bir sistem ve yönteme iliskindir. Müsteriden gelen canli veya depolanmis video talebini almak üzere bir video biriktirici (60) vardir. Merkez büro (20), video biriktirici (60) ile iletisim halindedir ve canli program talep edilmesi halinde video biriktiriciden program talebini almak ve istenen canli programi video biriktiriciye iletmek üzere yapilandirilmistir. Müsterinin canli program izlemedigi dönemlerde, video biriktirici (60) istenen programlari gelecekte izlenmek üzere merkez bürodan (20) talep eder ve depolar. Video biriktirici, müsterinin depolanan programlari ileri bir tarihte izlemesine de imkan verir.The invention relates to a system and method for providing multichannel television content over a single channel communication link (24) using digital subscriber line (DSL) technology. There is a video spooler 60 to receive live or stored video requests from the customer. The central office (20) is in communication with the video spooler (60), and if a live program is requested, it is configured to receive the program request from the video spooler and to transmit the desired live program to the video spooler. When the customer does not watch live programs, the video spooler (60) requests and stores the requested programs from the central office (20) for future monitoring. The video spooler also allows the customer to watch stored programs at a later date.
