Abstract: The system and methods described aid content delivery by providing requested content using a hybrid delivery of unicast and multicast content. A content delivery system receives, from user equipment, a request for content and identifies multicast sources for the content. The content delivery system determines a recent multicast source from the multicast sources, the recent multicast source having begun more recently relative to the other sources. The content delivery system transmits, to the user equipment, an identity of the recent multicast source and provides a beginning portion of the content to the user equipment via a unicast stream.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing media asset recommendations are described. An input to a user interface requesting content associated with a media asset is detected without corresponding display of the media asset on a display device associated with the user interface. In response, a user interaction history comprising interaction data associated with the media asset is retrieved. The interaction data is analyzed to identify an indecision pattern. In response to detecting the indecision pattern, a plurality of people are identified based on a match between the media asset and media profile information of the people. An electronic query is transmitted to each of the people requesting a recommendation for the media asset. The received responses are generated for display for the user.
