System and method for an improved, selective download of broadcast data

A broadcast signal facilitating selective download of broadcast data at a receiver, said broadcast signal comprising:

• a filesystem table (300) comprising:
• a filesystem table identifier (301) that is used to differentiate between tables;
• a section length (302) which specifies the number of bytes of the section;
• a filesystem version number (303) which is used in a receiver to identify whether a change has occurred in with respect to the version stored in the receiver;
• a section identifier (304) applied in distinguishing between sections;
• a last section number (305) denoting a final section of a given filesystem table;
• said signal being characterized in that the a filesystem table (300) further comprises:
• a description of N-files (306) wherein every file is represented by a file structure table (310), which comprises:
• a file identifier (311) that is used to differentiate between files;
• a start (312) and an end (313) address, in a linear address space, denoting which sections have to be retrieved in order to obtain complete file data;
• a file length (314);
• a checksum (315);
• a filename (316);
• wherein for each file (310) a content information (350) structure is provided that comprises:
• a file data table identifier (351) allowing to differentiate between file data tables;
• a section length (352);
• a chunk identifier (353);
• a file data version number (354);
• a section identifier (355);
• a last section number (356);
• the file identifier (357);
• content of the file (358).
