System and method for providing event spectators with audio/video signals pertaining to remote events
First Claim
1. A method for providing content for access by a portable device at an event, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of signals from a plurality of sources;
combining at least some of the plurality of signals for transmission to a plurality of broadcast systems, the plurality of broadcast systems corresponding to a plurality of events;
determining the broadcast systems to which each of the combined signals is to be transmitted;
transmitting the combined signals to at least one of the determined broadcast systems; and
broadcasting the combined signals received by at least one of the broadcast systems corresponding to at least one event, the combined signals configured to allow selection of content with a portable device, the content defined by at least one of audio and video signals of the combined signals.

Abstract
A system and method providing content for access by a portable device at an event is provided. The method includes receiving a plurality of signals from a plurality of sources and combining at least some of the plurality of signals for transmission to a plurality of broadcast systems, with the plurality of broadcast systems corresponding to a plurality of events. The method further includes determining the broadcast systems to which each of the combined signals is to be transmitted, transmitting the combined signals to at least one of the determined broadcast systems, and broadcasting the combined signals received by at least one of the broadcast systems corresponding to at least one event. The combined signals are configured to allow selection of content with a portable device, with the content defined by at least one of audio and video signals of the combined signals.
