A system and method dynamically supporting the concurrent storage of both quadrature amplitude modulated formatted and Internet protocol formatted video content. In particular, this dynamic support is based, at least in part, upon the recognition of format of the content being stored or retrieved from a memory. This memory is typically a hard-disk drive associated with a media gateway appliance. The system and method enable the provision of an improved content viewing and storage experience for users.

System and method for adaptive storage of video data

A system and method enabling the seamless transition between viewing a recorded portion of a program and rejoining a live stream of that program. The system and method enable the rapid provision of live-streamed content upon the exhaustion of the playback of recorded content. This achieved by utilizing a universal resource locator associated with the source of the content.

System and method for seamless content transition

A system and method dynamically adjusting the rate at which incoming content data is transferred into a media gateway appliance, and the rate at which outgoing content data is provided to one or more client devices by the media gateway appliance. This dynamic adjustment is performed in accordance with a predetermined program and as a function of real-time data streaming rates and predetermined rate parameters and preferences. The system and method enable the provision of an improved viewing and content acquisition experience for users.

System and method for dynamic adjustment of content streaming rates

Methods, systems, and computer readable media are implemented by a decoder associated with a STB to facilitate intelligent monitoring, detecting and displaying simultaneous independent videos on a display. A request is initiated to display a PiP window that presents a second content stream simultaneously with a first content stream. The request includes information as to input parameters and video input characteristics for each of the first and second content streams. Currently available resources, including memory and bandwidth, are monitored and upon initiation of the PiP window request a query is executed to determine if the available resources are sufficient. If yes, allocation of available resources is carried out to simultaneously display the first and second content streams. If no, an adjustment operation is carried out that modifies at least one input parameter or video input characteristic to simultaneously display content streams in optimal formats. User preferences may be considered for viewer consistency.
