    摘要: Various embodiments are described, in which multi-room personal video recording (MR-PVR) services and video-on-demand (VOD) services are integrated to provide a consolidated interface for a viewer to select among VOD services and MR-PVR services, among others. For some embodiments, both MR-PVR and VOD services can be accessed by a viewer through a single user interface. For other embodiments, clients that perform both PVR and VOD client-side functions are disclosed. For yet other embodiments, devices that perform the PVR server-side functions and VOD client-side functions are disclosed.

    摘要: A system and method for minimizing timeouts when enhanced services are requested through a digital home communications terminal (DHCT) requiring discovery of a service group identification (SGID) assigned to the DHCT. A service group map (SGM) includes a plurality of entries. Each entry includes a frequency, a tabulated transport stream identification (TSID), and a SGID associated with one another. The SGM has multiple occurrences of the same frequencies. At least a portion of the entries within the SGM are arranged in an ordered manner and then searched in other than a sequential manner to find matching tabulated and acquired TSIDs.
