Abstract
A method and device for storing an interactive television program for playback at a later point in time, wherein said interactive television program comprises at least one interactive television application. The applications are transmitted inside modules () through a data carousel () within a transport stream (). The method comprises receiving the transport stream, parsing the stream for application modules and storing them as a storage stream on a storage medium (). The storage stream is stored separate from said transport stream (). The data or object carousel is recorded outside the Transport Stream and recorded like a stream, preferably as a single file. This file is a sequence of modules with some header information preceding the modules making playback faster as the information needed to obtain the objects from a module is located directly in the header of that module. Furthermore, the solution according to the invention solution is platform independent.
