Digital remote recorder
First Claim
1. a method for automatically recording and publishing traditional media source programs over a network, the method comprising the computer-implemented steps of:
- receiving from a network client that is connected to the network a request to record and publish one or more traditional media source programs in one or more encoding formats, the one or more traditional media source programs being broadcast from a traditional media source that is not generally receivable at a geographic location at which the network client resides;
in response to receiving the request, capturing the one or more traditional media source programs from the traditional media source that broadcasts the one or more traditional media source programs at a particular broadcast time to a broadcasting area of the traditional media source;
encoding the one or more traditional media source programs in the one or more encoding formats to produce one or more encoded media programs; and
publishing, at a time different from the particular broadcast time, the one or more encoded media programs over the network to the network client located outside the broadcasting area of the traditional media source.

Abstract
A method and system for recording and publishing traditional media source programs over a network is disclosed. According to the method, a request for publication of one or more traditional media source programs in one or more encoding formats is received from a network client that is connected to the network. In response to receiving the request, the one or more traditional media source programs are captured from a traditional media source that broadcasts the one or more traditional media source programs at a particular broadcast time. The one or more traditional media source programs are encoded in one or more encoding formats to produce one or more encoded media programs and then published to the network client over the network at a time that is different from the actual broadcast time.

23. A system for automatically recording and publishing traditional media source programs in digital format over a network, the system comprising:
-
a digital remote recorder, wherein the digital remote recorder is configured to received encoding requests from a network client that is connected to the network to record and encode one or more traditional media source programs, the one or more traditional media source programs being broadcast from a traditional media source that is not generally receivable at a geographic location at which the network client resides, and to automatically capture and encode the traditional media source programs from the traditional media source, which are broadcast at a particular broadcast time to a broadcasting area of the traditional media source, into corresponding one or more encoded media programs based on the encoding requests; and a network server that is connected to the digital remote recorder, wherein the network server is configured to store the one or more encoded media programs, and to publish the one or more encoded media programs to the network client located outside the broadcasting area of the traditional media source.
