Abstract
Systems, methods, and receiver devices enable broadcasters with restricted content license areas (e.g., Designated Market Areas ('DMAs') to distribute content via Over the Top ('OTT') IP networks. Embodiments enable client reporting and authentication as well as broadcast content encryption. In an embodiment, information from the client may be reported back to the broadcasters, such as a view history/use report. In an embodiment, hand off between DMAs may be enabled. In an embodiment, local advertisement insertion in network content may be enabled. Embodiments may enable Multicast-Broadcast Single Frequency Network (“MBSFN”) operation across DMA boundaries.
