ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for time and space domain shifting of broadcast signals is disclosed. A broadcast station in a first geographic location transmits in a first time frame a broadcast signal to a local receiver also located in the first geographic location. The local receiver encodes the broadcast signal into an encoded signal capable of being transmitted via a world wide network, and then transmits the encoded signal via the world wide network. The transmitted encoded signal is received by a media player located within a second geographic location outside the first geographic location and coupled to the world wide network, and the encoded signal is decoded by the media player such that information contained within the signal is capable of being reproduced. The information may be reproduced by the media player as the signal is received via the world wide network, or the reproduction of the information may be delayed to a predetermined time such that the time frame of the broadcast signal may be shifted from the first time frame to a second time frame. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other researcher to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
