Abstract
A method and system for incorporating a current event data stream from a television broadcasted video signal onto a pre-recorded video stream for playback on a television set. A first digital video stream, which includes television program content and a first event data stream, is retrieved. If it is ascertained that a current event is located in the current event data stream in the television broadcasted video signal, then the first event data stream is replaced with the current event data stream in the retrieved first digital video stream, and the television program content is played back concurrently with the current event data stream on the television set. If it is ascertained that the current event is not located in the current event data stream in the television broadcasted video signal, then the television program content in the retained first digital video stream is played back on the television set.
