Digital video recording device ticker playback system and method
First Claim
1. In a digital video recording system configured with at least one mass storage device, a method of incorporating an event data stream from a television broadcasted video signal onto a pre-recorded video stream for playback on the television, the method comprising:
- generating a user recording profile containing at least one television program, receiving a first digital video stream corresponding to the user recording profile, the first digital video stream containing a first event data stream;
recording onto the at least one mass storage device the first digital video stream;
based upon a user'"'"'s playback requirements for the first video stream, generating a second digital video stream while simultaneously capturing a second event data stream from the television broadcasted video signal; and
generating a third digital video stream by replacing the first event data stream with the second event data stream.

Abstract
The present invention is a system and method of controlling the playback of the event steam information of a particular television channel by a digital video recorder (DVR). The DVR is a computer system configured with a hard drive and video decoder/encoder devices. The hardware environment of DVR (100) further comprises an input interface (102), tuner (105) MPEG-2 encoder (110), MPEG-2 decoder (120), external mass storage device (125), and central processing unit (CPU) (135), internal memory (127), operating system (140), and event stream generator (250). The system and method of controlling the playback function of the present invention is primarily implemented within event stream generator 250. Event stream generator (250) generates a new video stream for playback onto the television by incorporated the broadcasted event stream information into the selected video stream.

7. A digital video recording system for incorporating an event data stream from a television broadcasted video signal onto a pre-recorded video stream for playback on the television, the system comprising:
-
a recorder module configured to record onto the at least one mass storage device a first digital video stream including a first event data stream, the first digital video stream corresponding to a user generated recording profile, the recording profile including at least one television program or program segment;
a playback module configured to generate a second digital video stream while simultaneously capturing a second event data stream from the television broadcasted video signal, the second event data stream being based upon a user'"'"'s playback requirements for the first video stream; and
an event generator module configured to generate a third digital video stream by incorporating the second event data stream into the second digital video stream. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
