ABSTRACT:
A transmitting unit (10) transmits a video digital signal. The transmitting unit (10) is the delivery system associated with a source that can provide digital video signals, including but not necessarily limited to a satellite television system, a local television station or a cable television provider. A receiving unit (100) receives the broadcasted signal and demultiplexes the signal into a multicasting segment (52) and a baseline video bitstream (54). A portion of the multicasting segment (52) is stored in memory until such time that it is displayed on a television monitor (110). The baseline video bitstream (54) usually comprises a television show which is displayed on the television monitor (110) unless the multicasting segment (52) (e.g., commercial) is being displayed.
