Abstract
A method for accessing content at a device, wherein the device is arranged to execute a digital rights management (DRM) client of a DRM system and wherein the device is arranged to receive a broadcast signal comprising a plurality of encrypted portions of content for an item of content, each encrypted portion being packaged in a format of a conditional access system and being decryptable using a corresponding decryption key, wherein the method comprises an application executing on the device performing the steps of: for each of one or more of the encrypted portions: converting said encrypted portion from being packaged in the format of the conditional access system to being packaged in a format of the DRM system; providing said encrypted portion is packaged in the format of the DRM system to the DRM client; and either (a) providing a rights object according to the DRM system to the DRM client or (b) triggering the DRM client to obtain a rights object according to the DRM system; wherein the rights object corresponds to said encrypted portion by comprising decryption key data for use by the DRM client to obtain the decryption key corresponding to said encrypted portion.
