The present invention provides systems and methods for, in some cases, supplementing a broadcast media service with an on-demand service.

Systems and methods for providing an on-demand entertainment service

The present application describes systems and methods for creating customized media channels. A method of the invention according to some embodiments includes: (a) transmitting to a user device information comprising a list of music genres; receiving from the user device a message indicating that a user selected one of the listed genres and including an identifier identifying the selected genre; selecting one or more media content items in response to receiving the message, wherein the selection is based, at least in part, on (i) the genre selected by the user and (ii) profile information associated with a user identifier input by the user and/or a device identifier associated with the device; and transmitting the selected media content items to the device.

Systems and methods for providing customized media channels

A system and method for providing an interactive, visual complement to one or more audio programs. In one aspect, the system comprises an audio subsystem for generating an audio signal corresponding to a sound recording. The system also comprises a video subsystem for generating a video image specification based, at least in part, on the sound recording. In one aspect, the audio signal and video image specification are transmitted to an audio/video signal transmission system. The transmission system receives the video image specification and generates a video signal that conforms to the video image specification. The video signal and the audio signal are transmitted to at least one consumer receiver. In this way, the system provides a visual complement to an audio program.

System and method for providing an interactive, visual complement to an audio program

The present invention provides systems and methods for, in some cases, supplementing a broadcast media service with an on-demand and personalized media service.

Systems and methods for providing a broadcast entertainment service and an on-demand entertainment service

A system and method for providing multiple video presentations per audio program. In one aspect, the method comprises (a) assigning a first packet identifier (PID) to a first elementary stream, wherein the first elementary stream comprises video packets corresponding to a high-definition video presentation; (b) assigning a second PID to a second elementary stream, wherein the second elementary stream comprises video packets corresponding to a standard-definition video presentation and the second PID is different than the first PID; (c) assigning a third PID to a third elementary stream, wherein the third elementary stream comprises audio packets corresponding to a selected audio recording, wherein the third PID is different than the second PID; and (d) (1) creating a program map table that includes the first PID, the second PID and the third PID or (2) creating (i) a first program map table that includes the first PID and the third PID and (ii) a second program map table that includes the second PID and the third PID. In this way, the method provides a high-definition and a standard-definition video presentation per a single audio program.

Systems and methods for providing multiple video streams per audio stream

A method and system for reducing burn-in of a display is disclosed. A plurality of assets containing text, graphics, and video are stored. Some of these assets are then assembled into a video frame or 'screen', which is subsequently output. Some of the assets are then assembled to form a second video frame or screen. The second screen is subsequently output to the video transport stream and the process is repeated.

Method and system for displaying content while reducing burn-in of a display

A method and system for reducing burn-in of a display is disclosed. A plurality of assets containing text, graphics, and video are stored and then gathered. These assets are then assembled into a template to form a video frame or 'screen', which is subsequently output in a video transport stream or video display. Based upon a trigger, the assets are gathered again and reassembled in a second template to form a second video frame or screen wherein the assets are in positions on the screen, which are different from those of the first screen. The second screen is subsequently output to the video transport stream and the process is repeated.
