Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying a request to record video content at a multimedia storage device, wherein the video content corresponds to a program having a scheduled broadcast time that occurs during a peak viewing period. Data is obtained to prevent viewing of the video content prior to the broadcast time. The video content, responsive to the identifying of the request, is sent selectively to the multimedia storage device during a non-peak viewing period prior to the peak viewing period. The video content includes the data to prevent the multimedia storage device from sending the video content to another device prior to the time when the program is scheduled to be broadcast. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for conserving bandwidth within a network based on two or more different service levels. In an exemplary embodiment, programming that is simulcast on two or more program channels is mapped to one physical channel during periods when the programming is scheduled at only one service level (e.g., standard definition), thereby conserving bandwidth on the network that would otherwise be consumed by the simultaneous broadcast on the two or more channels. When the programming service level becomes heterogeneous across the channels (e.g., SD and HD simulcast), physical channel(s) supporting the HD content are provided within a local service area only “on-demand” using, for example, a switched digital channel allocation. Accordingly, no HD broadcast occurs within a given area until at least one user requests it, thereby further conserving network bandwidth.

Abstract translation: 基于两个或多个不同服务级别节省网络内的带宽的方法和装置。 在示例性实施例中，在仅在一个服务级别（例如，标准清晰度）上调度编程的时段期间，在两个或多个节目频道上进行同步播放的节目被映射到一个物理频道，从而节省网络上的带宽，否则将 在两个或更多个信道上同时广播消耗。 当编程服务级别在信道之间变得异构时（例如，SD和HD联播），支持HD内容的物理信道仅在本地服务区域中使用例如交换数字信道“按需” 分配。 因此，在至少一个用户请求之前，在给定区域内不会发生HD广播，从而进一步节省网络带宽。

Abstract: Provided are a fusion device, system and method for implementing an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) service. The fusion device integrates a Content Delivery Network (CDN) component and a network component. The CDN component receives a media service request initiated by a Set Top Box (STB), searches in a service policy template database for a service policy template matching a service type carried by the request, initiate a network support request to the network component, and uses the service policy template to provide a service for the STB after receiving a success response message fed back by the network component; and the network component searches in a network policy template database for a network policy template matching a service policy after receiving the network support request, executes the network policy template, feeds back a success response message when the execution succeeds, and uses the network policy template to provide a network resource support for the CDN component. The disclosure fuses a content delivery function and a network service function, which effectively ensures service quality of the IPTV service.
