First Claim
1. A transmission system including at least one receiver, a transmitting system for transmitting a title to the receiver, and a web site for storing information parts of providing additional information and/or functionality for corresponding content parts of the title;
- the respective content parts of the transmitted title being identified in a predetermined addressing format for storage (hereinafter “
content part address”
) on a removable storage medium;
the receiver being operative to receive;
the transmitter title, linking information linking the transmitted title to the web site, and a data file including data associating, for respective content parts of the title, the corresponding content part address with a content part timing that identifies the content part in a transmitting timing format;
the receiver including a controller for, under control of a conversion application, synchronous to the receiver supplying content parts of the transmitted title for rendering where the content parts are identified using the content part timing, enabling linking to the corresponding information parts on the web site indicated by the linking information, using the data file to, based on the content part timing of the tranmission, determine the content part address, and/or based on the content part address determine the content part timing.

Abstract
In a transmission system, a web site (90) stores information parts for providing additional information and/or functionality for corresponding content parts of a transmitted title. The content parts are identified in a predetermined addressing format for storage (“content part address”) on a removable storage medium. The receiver (60) receives linking information linking the transmitted title to the web site, and a data file including data associating, for respective content parts of the title, the corresponding content part address with a content part timing that identifies the content part in a transmitting timing format. A controller (250) of the receiver uses the linking information and the data file to, synchronous to the receiver supplying content parts of the transmitted title for rendering, enabling linking to the corresponding information parts on the web site.
