Systems, Methods And Computer-Readable Media For Local Content Storage Within A Media Network

A method comprising:

• determining at least one location of unused bandwidth in at least one transport stream, the at least one transport stream comprising one or more non-targeted content elements;
• inserting at least one targeted content element into the unused bandwidth of the at least one transport stream;
• and
• sending, to a receiver device within a household-addressable media network, at least one content storage signal configured to instruct the receiver device to store the at least one targeted content element.

An apparatus comprising a processor and a memory, the memory storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to perform operations comprising:

• determining at least one location of unused bandwidth in at least one transport stream, the at least one transport stream comprising one or more non-targeted content elements;
• inserting at least one targeted content element into the unused bandwidth of the at least one transport stream;
• and
• sending, to a receiver device within a household-addressable media network, at least one content storage signal configured to instruct the receiver device to store the at least one targeted content element.
