Embodiment Construction

[0047] Figure 1 illustrates a set-top box including data processing equipment according to the invention, shown in the process of recording a program. The set-top box is shown in the dotted box 1, and is connected between an ordinary TV set 2 and a dish satellite TV antenna 3.

[0048] The satellite dish 3 receives a digital satellite transmission signal in MPEG-2 format and sends it to a transport stream analyzer to recover the format information of the signal. A channel selected from the actual transmission is provided to a conventional video decoder 5, which converts the digital signal into an RF modulated form compatible with a conventional TV antenna socket and a conventional SCART socket (not shown) format. Alternatively, a program channel may be stored in a digital MPEG-2 format in a memory including the hard disk 6 . The digital MPEG-2 signal from analyzer 4 is processed by file system processor arrangement 7 and stored in some manner on hard disk 6 together with an ...

Abstract

A multimedia apparatus, such as a set top box for use with a television set, comprises a receiver for receiving program data from a communication channel and a processor which stores said program data with a file containing associated secondary program data, such as a promotional trailer. The processor compiles a menu of secondary program data files allowing a viewer to watch a trailer and decide whether to retrieve the full program or film. The secondary data may be broadcast in parallel with the program data. Alternatively, the processor may run an application for producing the secondary program data, e.g. using earmarked portions of the full program data.

Description

technical field [0001] The multimedia equipment involved in the present invention includes a data processor for reading and writing data from a storage medium, and is mainly applied to a set-top box of a television receiver, but is not limited thereto. Background technique [0002] A set-top box can be used to receive satellite, terrestrial and cable TV signals and process them into a format that can be received by a regular television. More recently, there have been proposals to place a hard drive inside the set-top box to allow recording of digital satellite and cable TV for later playback. The received program information may be in MPEG-2 format. The set-top box receives a digital data stream from a satellite or cable link, analyzes it, and passes it to a processor so that the program data can be stored as a data file on a local storage medium, such as a hard drive or Winches special hard drive. The program data can then be accessed from the hard disk, relayed through ...
