1. A method for providing access to particular media content, comprising:
- receiving, by a television receiver, a plurality of concurrent media content from a service provider, including at least a first media content and a second media content, wherein each of the plurality of media content comprises a stream or sequence of video packets including one or more real-time metadata tags embedded within the video packets such that the real-time metadata tags are not output when the media content is output by an output device, and wherein each real-time metadata tag is associated with a specific time period during the media content;
outputting, by a television receiver, the first media content for presentation by a display device;
monitoring the stream or sequence of video packets of the second media content, and extracting, by the television receiver, one or more real-time metadata tags from the video packets of the second media content, during the output of the first media content;
retrieving, by the television receiver, a priority listing associated with a first user of the television receiver;
comparing, by the television receiver, the real-time metadata tags extracted from the video packets of the second media content to the priority listing associated with the first user;
determining, by the television receiver, based on the comparison of the real-time metadata tags extracted from the video packets of the second media content to the priority listing associated with the first user, whether the second media content has a priority greater than the first media content; and
providing access, by the television receiver, to the second media content for presentation by the display device, in place of the first media content when the second media content has greater priority than the first media content.
