A set top box circuitry receives television channels, receives a viewer input, constructs a composite video from the television channels using the viewer input and forwards the composite video for display. The viewer input identifies a selection of at least two of the television channels and another selection of portions or all of the at least two of the television channels. The viewer input carries definitions of the selected portions that are typically, dimensions of the selected portions, shapes of the selected portions and locations of the selected portions when revealed on a display. The set top box circuitry constructs the composite video by combining the selected portions using the definitions. The set top box circuitry maintains a usage record of the television channels that are not free to use and forwards the usage record to a charging system that uses the usage record to generate an invoice.
A video processing circuitry located at a first premises that interacts with a video source located at a second premises, the video processing circuitry capable of interacting with a viewer interface and a display unit, the video processing circuitry comprising:
A set top box circuitry that receives a channel menu and a plurality of television channels from a television channel broadcasting source, the set top box circuitry comprising:
A method performed by a set top box circuitry located at a first premises of generating a composite video employing one or more of the plurality of media elements received from a video source located at a second premises, the method comprising:
