Abstract

A system and method for facilitating subscriber access to an Internet site providing content, such transcripts, associated with an audiovisual program uses a virtual channel table (VCT) containing URLs. Access to the URLs by the subscriber is controlled through an allocation of a tier, and associating the allocated tier with this adjunct service (i.e., the capability of accessing the web site pointed to by the URL). The system provides a great convenience to subscribers, eliminating the need to physically use other Internet access devices to access the web site affiliated with the audiovisual program, and provides a straightforward mechanism for system operators for allowing access without the complexity of a parallel authorization and access infrastructure (e.g., policy and proxy servers).
