Methods and apparatus to play audio and video content at non-native rates are described. An example method includes playing a video portion of audiovisual content at a non-native rate, playing an audio portion of the audiovisual content at the non-native rate to correspond with the video portion, wherein a presentation of the audiovisual content at the non-native rate and a presentation of the audiovisual content at a native rate are substantially indistinguishable to an audience.

Methods and apparatus to present audio and video at non-native rates

A system for playing a digital signal is set forth that includes a receiver receiving a digital signal. System further includes a buffer storing the digital signal in a buffer. A controller determines a read rate and when the signal is interrupted. When the buffer is full, the buffer is read at about the input rate of the buffer. When the buffer is less than full, the buffer is read at a rate less than the input rate when the digital television signal is interrupted.
