System to monitor and manage integrated receiver decoders

An integrated network receiver including a processor comprising:

• (a) said integrated network receiver includes a first universal resource identifier (URI) for a first channel from a video address server based upon a first predefined URI maintained by said integrated network receiver prior to being provided video content for said first channel from a first source over a first transmission medium, said integrated network receiver includes a second universal resource identifier for said first channel from said video address server based upon a second predefined URI maintained by said integrated network receiver prior to being provided video content for said first channel from said first source over said first transmission medium, said integrated network receiver selectively including an input suitable for receiving either (a) a first input video content from said first source over said first transmission medium from Internet based upon said first universal resource identifier or (b) a second input video content from said first source over said first transmission medium from the Internet based upon said second universal resource identifier, wherein said integrated network receiver further obtains authorization from a content provider of said first input video prior to receiving said first input video;
• (b) said integrated network receiver providing said first input video content for said first channel to a head end connected to a plurality of customer devices through a transmission network, where said integrated network receiver provides said first predefined URI or said second predefined URI for said first channel to each of said plurality of customer devices to receive said first input video;
• (c) said integrated network receiver updating at least one of said first universal resource identifier and said second predefined URI based upon data obtained from said video address server, wherein said integrated network receiver receives update from said content provider for said first and second predefined URIs of said first channel of a channel table in said video address server.
