1. A method for delivering media content to a user, the method comprising:
- based on content read from optical media, initiating a request to a conditional access network interface for content not stored on the optical media;
receiving, from the conditional access network interface, content supplied in response to the request; and
generating graphical display signals for a user display based on the content supplied in response to the request.

Abstract
Methods and systems for accessing DVD off-disc content using a broadband conditional access network are described. In one embodiment, content is read from optical media and based on that content, a request is initiated to a conditional access network interface for content not stored on the optical media. Content is supplied in response to the request and received from the conditional access network interface. Graphical display signals are generated for a user display based on the content supplied in response to the request.

9. A system to provide media content comprising:
-
a conditional access system downlink driver to provide content to a subscriber connected to a conditional access network;
a conditional access system uplink receiver to receive content requests from the subscriber connected to the conditional access network; and
a content request server to respond to content requests received at the conditional access system uplink receiver, wherein the content request server responds to a first content request received from the subscriber and based on content read from optical media by directing the supply of content responsive to the content request to the conditional access system downlink driver. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. An information handling system (IHS) comprising:
-
a processor group, comprising at least one processor, to translate an expanded content request generated based on content read from optical media into a request to a conditional access network content server; and
a conditional access network interface to transmit the request to the conditional access network content server and to receive the expanded content back from the server. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
