Abstract

A method for downloading content to a target device. Content and target device selection is initiated by a set-top-box. When the selection is approved by the content provider, the target device receives a message indicating that a selected content is ready for download. A user interface is generated, displaying the message and allowing the user to accept/refuse the download, download at a subsequent time, authorize a specific subscriber to upload content to the target device without authorization, refuse to download content from a specific subscriber, or download to the target device by explicit authorization only. As a result, a television-centric experience is provided while eliminating the need to transfer the downloaded content from the target device to another electronic device. Moreover, content selection is initiated by a device other than the target device while providing the target device with flexibility to initiate the download when the downloadable content is ready.
