Estimating the term…
The present invention relates to a digital TV receptor system comprising a user interface for integrated access to linear multimedia content such as, for example, digital TV channels transmitted by land, satellite or cable TV broadcasters, “multi-cast” or live streams transmitted by data networks or over the Internet, as well as on demand or non-linear multimedia content, such as, for example, contents of Internet services and/or multimedia applications in a digital TV reception apparatus having support for playback of such multimedia content, allowing the user to navigate through linear and non-linear content in a single list and in a transparent manner, in such a way as to present non-linear content as if such content were also TV channels. The user interface comprises a digitally readable medium comprising lines of program code and means for running such lines of program code in order to implement integrated access to linear and non-linear multimedia content from multiple sources in a digital TV reception apparatus.
An integrated user interface of access to linear and non-linear multimedia content originating from multiple sources, comprising a digitally readable medium comprising lines of program code, which is found stored in “read only” memory in the TV receiver and can be part of the TV receiver firmware, and means for running such lines of program code in order to implement integrated access to linear and non-linear multimedia content originating from multiple sources in a digital TV reception apparatus with support for the playback of such multimedia content, the means of running being present in the digital TV receiver and comprising a processor and RAM memory.
