Method and system for receiving and processing digital content

A system comprising a processor and a memory, wherein said memory comprises instructions that when executed by said system implement a method of managing digital content in a digital electronic system, said method comprising:

• accessing a first portion of digital content using a first channel, wherein said first channel is selected under program control by a component of said digital electronic system;
• comparing a first unique identifier to a plurality of unique identifiers to determine whether said plurality of unique identifiers comprises said first unique identifier, wherein said first unique identifier is associated with said first portion of digital content wherein the plurality of unique identifiers is established based on past user downloading of digital content and not on user input of preferences;
• responsive to a determination that said plurality of unique identifiers comprises said first unique identifier, storing said first portion of digital content in said digital electronic system, wherein said storing is performed contemporaneously with a processing of other content accessed using a second channel;
• and
• responsive to a user request for a second portion of digital content, accessing said second portion of digital content from the digital electronic system if said second portion of digital content is stored in said digital electronic system, otherwise accessing said second portion of digital content over the Internet.

A computer-readable memory having computer-readable program code embodied therein for causing a computer system to perform a method of managing digital content in a digital electronic system, said method comprising:

• accessing a first portion of digital content using a first channel, wherein said first channel is selected under program control by a component of said digital electronic system;
• comparing a first unique identifier to a plurality of unique identifiers to determine whether said plurality of unique identifiers comprises said first unique identifier, wherein said first unique identifier is associated with said first portion of digital content, wherein the plurality of unique identifiers is established based on past user downloading of digital content and not on user input of preferences;
• responsive to a determination that said plurality of unique identifiers comprises said first unique identifier, storing said first portion of digital content in a memory of said digital electronic system, wherein said storing is performed contemporaneously with a processing of other content accessed using a second channel;
• responsive to a user request for a second portion of digital content,
• determining if said second portion of digital content is stored in said memory;
• and
• accessing said second portion of digital content from said memory if said second portion of digital content is stored in said memory otherwise accessing said second portion of digital content over the internet.
