Abstract
Broadcast storage arrangement in a telecommunication network, the arrangement comprising a broadcast service provider (TV), a distribution network (NW, DVB), and at least one mobile node (MN). A broadcast transmission provided by the broadcast service provider is compressed and delivered in a form suitable for mobile node reception via the distribution network to the mobile node. The mobile node sends a request to a server (SRV) functionally connected to the broadcast service provider to save at least a part of said broadcast transmission in a less compressed format. Then the server is arranged to save at least a part of said broadcast transmission in a less compressed or uncompressed format.
