摘要： A scheduled broadcast time is retrieved for a program that is to be delivered in advance of the scheduled broadcast time, wherein the scheduled broadcast time is associated with a program content identifier for the program. Prior to the scheduled broadcast time, a pre-cast channel is selected on a network by selecting at least one of a currently unused channel or a dedicated pre-cast channel. Prior to the scheduled broadcast time, a signal is sent for placing a viewer program storage device into a pre-cast mode, such that viewing of the pre-cast channel is disabled. Prior to the scheduled broadcast time, the program is delivered to the viewer program storage device over the pre-cast channel, wherein the delivered program is associated with the program content identifier and a time stamp for disabling playback of the delivered program until arrival of the scheduled broadcast time.

摘要： Multiple views and optimized communications pathways of personal descriptors are provided over a communications network for a globally accessible contact list of contacts in a database. User descriptors are automatically populated in a dynamic repository, and subsequently form personal descriptors. User queries and contact information are received anonymously and stored in a dynamic repository, based on adding the contact to an instant messaging roster state database, where the contact information is categorized, based on identifiable relationships between user descriptors and a group of user defined rules. Such user contact information is transmitted and/or received to and/or from contacts in the globally accessible contact list so as to share presence and access information, and where the user is an authorized user providing varying levels of access information. Sharing access to the personal descriptor includes the use of a communications broker, rendering an animated personal descriptor and completing social and business interactions.
