Abstract:
Certain aspects of the invention may be found in a method and system for providing media in a communication network and may comprise generating a request from a first location to receive media from a non-broadcast channel provider. Payment and/or authorization information may be provided to the non-broadcast channel provider and the media transferred from a storage location other than the non-broadcast channel provider to the first location. A representation of the received media may be presented in a media guide and/or a channel guide at the first location and the received media may be consumed at the first location. The method may further comprise the step of requesting that the received media be transferred from the storage location to a second location. An identifier of the second location may be transferred to the non-broadcast channel provider so that media may be transferred to the second location.
