Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a novel approach for content protection. Specifically, various embodiments employ data feeds to continuously or periodically inform placeshifting devices of protected content. The placeshifting devices then filter or otherwise block the protected content from being re-transmitted over a network based on this information. In some embodiments, the data feeds take the form of Really Simple Syndicating (RSS) or Atom feeds. These data feeds may carry information about the protected content, such as the time, the title, and the channel of specific audio/video protected content. Based on this information, the placeshifting device can determine which content is protected and not eligible for re-transmission.

Systems and method are provided for adaptive dashboards, wayfinding, and other services at an event venue. The systems and methods involve transmitting beacon messages using short-range wireless communications from a plurality of beacon devices provided at the event venue, wherein each beacon message comprises location identification information. The systems and method further involve processing using a module on a mobile electronic device beacon messages received by the mobile electronic device by comparing beacon identification information included as part of the beacon messages to beacon information stored on the mobile electronic device. The system and methods further involve displaying an adaptive dashboard, wayfinding information, or other event venue information to a user of the mobile electronic device based on the processing of beacon messages received by the mobile electronic device.

Embodiments provide for outputting video and allowing a user to switch between different audio steams in a synchronous manner without impacting the timeline of the audio presentation. The audio and video streams may be directed to a single sporting event. For example, a user can view video associated with a national television broadcast of a baseball game, and switch between the audio from the national broadcast and the audio from the radio broadcast. Similarly, the user can view video associated with a local television broadcast, and switch between the audio from the national, regional, and/or radio broadcast. As any sport fan would appreciate, such flexibility enables users to watch the video with, e.g., the best quality and camera angle, while at the same time listening to the audio or broadcaster they find the most appealing.
