1. A method comprising:
- selecting a base frame from a group of frames of a digital video data stream, wherein at least one frame in the group of frames is encoded with an encoding technique utilizing bi-directional encoding;
decompressing the selected base frame prior to decompressing other frames of the group of frames; and
providing the decompressed base frame to a display device for display prior to decompressing the other frames of the group of frames.

Abstract
A method for displaying base frames during video data decompression. A tuner selects a base frame of a compressed digital video data steam. The tuner decompresses the selected base frame prior to decompressing the remaining frames of the digital video data stream, and provides the decompressed base frame to a display device for display prior to the tuner decompressing the remaining frames of the compressed digital video data stream.

5. A method comprising:
-
decompressing a first digital video data stream on a first channel; selecting a base frame from a group of frames of a second digital video data stream on a second channel; decompressing the base frame from the second digital video data stream; buffering the decompressed base frame; receiving an indication to switch from the first channel to the second channel; and providing, as a result of the indication to switch to the second channel, the decompressed base frame to a display device for display prior to decompressing other frames of the group of frames. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method comprising:
-
decompressing a first digital video data stream on a first channel; selecting a first base frame from a group of frames of a second digital video data stream on a buffered channel; decompressing the selected base frame prior to decompressing other frames of the group of frames of the second digital video data stream; buffering the decompressed first base frame; receiving an indication to switch from the first channel to a second channel; determining whether the indication is to switch to the buffered channel; if the indication is to switch to the buffered channel; providing the decompressed first base frame to a display device for display prior to decompressing other frames of the group of frames, and decompressing the second digital video data stream on the buffered channel; and if the indication is to switch to a channel other than the buffered channel; decompressing a second base frame from a group of frames of a third digital video data stream on the second channel, and providing to the display device a decompressed second base frame for display prior to decompressing other frames from the group of frames of the third digital video data stream. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
