Abstract
A method and computing device for switching from a first transport stream to a second transport stream. The method detects a trigger in the first transport stream that determines a switch point for tuning to the second transport stream. The method receives a last frame of audio/video content in the first transport stream that immediately precedes the switch point, and initiates a switch to the second transport stream after receiving the last frame. The method processes the last frame through an audio/video decoder simultaneous with the initiating of the switch, and disables the output of the audio/video decoder after the processing of the last frame. The method receives a first frame of audio/video content in the second transport stream, and enables the output of the audio/video decoder after processing the first frame through the audio/video decoder.
