Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods for allocating bandwidth in a switched digital video (SDV) system based on charmed interest. In some embodiments, bandwidth is deallocated from channels and allocated to requested channels having a higher interest. Tiered approaches for allocating bandwidth are disclosed. Embodiments in which QAMs are allocated across services in a multi-service system based on interest are also disclosed. Embodiments for accommodating emergency access system (EAS) functionality in a SDV system are also disclosed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for addressing program overruns based on program interest, comprising: detecting, using control circuitry, a program overrun on a first channel; receiving, over a network connection, a plurality of requests corresponding to at least one of the program overrun and a regularly scheduled program on the first channel; computing, based on the plurality of requests, interest for the program overrun and interest for the regularly scheduled program; d…
