Abstract: Methods, systems and devices to stream media content are described. A user interface is presented to a user via a media device. When the media device has determined that an interaction with the user interface has occurred (e.g., the user has begun scrolling through a list, or has performed a keyword search), the media device requests, from a media content source, a subset of first media content based on the interaction with the user interface and prior to selection of the first media content via the user interface. The subset of first media content is then displayed in response to the selection of the first media content.

Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are provided to support efficient and secure delivery of a media stream or content file to a mobile phone, tablet, computer or other remote device. Most of the media stream's content is received directly from a content source for efficient bandwidth allocation, but at least a portion of the stream is delivered from a set top box, television receiver, or other home device that is located at the customer's premises to preserve the security of the stream. The portion that is delivered from the home device may be a key portion of the stream that is essential to the playback of media stream.
