Method and System for Providing Quick Service Access

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory operatively coupled to the processor and storing computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause the apparatus to:
• organize a plurality of quick services in data packets in a data stream, each of the data packets having a corresponding packet identifier and each of the quick services corresponding to a quick service type, and
• transmit the data stream to one or more receivers,
• wherein a packet identifier corresponding to data packets of a type of quick service is globally fixed.

A method comprising:

• organizing a plurality of quick services in data packets in a data stream, each of the data packets having a corresponding packet identifier and each of the quick services corresponding to a quick service type;
• and
• transmitting the data stream to one or more receivers,
• wherein a packet identifier corresponding to data packets of a type of quick service is globally fixed.

One or more computer readable media storing computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause an apparatus to:

• organize a plurality of quick services in data packets in a data stream, each of the data packets having a corresponding packet identifier and each of the quick services corresponding to a quick service type;
• and
• transmit the data stream to one or more receivers,
• wherein a packet identifier corresponding to data packets of a type of quick service is globally fixed.

A computer-readable medium having stored thereon a data structure comprising:

• a first menu including at least one access mode selection configured to locate a signal corresponding to a data stream;
• a second menu including at least one type of quick access service selection;
• an update selection configured to update electronic service guide information corresponding to the data stream,
• wherein the at least one type of quick access service selection is associated with a globally fixed packet identification and fixed Internet Protocol address.
