Abstract

A system for asynchronously delivering Internet-based digital video content over a digital network that includes a distribution device coupled to the digital network that receives an asynchronous digital video stream compressed and encrypted from a synchronous digital video stream and transmitted over the digital network and distributes the asynchronous digital video stream over an imperfect network that may be routed over an existing wiring network of a building or may include wireless components within the network. The system also includes a management device coupled to the distribution device, the management device including means for providing billing and operational management of the digital video stream including content control and reporting, and a set-top box operably coupled to the imperfect network in the building. The set-top box is adapted to selectively decode and decrypt the asynchronous digital video stream for display on a video monitor.
