ABSTRACT:
Certain aspects of the invention for porting information between locations in a communication network may comprise storing media along with meta data associated with the stored media on a storage unit which may be a media processing unit that is coupled to a communication device at a first location. Whenever the storage unit is transferred to a second location such as a home and coupled to a second communication device, a channel view or channel guide comprising representations of the stored media may be presented on a television at the second location. Responsive to receiving a selection via the presented channel guide, one or more media files corresponding to the received selection may be presented/displayed on the television and/or a media player such as an audio player within the home. The stored media may be received at the first location via a wired and/or a wireless interface.
