System and method for a schedule shift function in a multi-channel broadcast multimedia system
First Claim
1. A system for providing a global program guide pause function in a broadcast multimedia system comprising:
- a first main control configured for processing audio and video data content received from a packet processor, the first main control comprising;
an analyzer that acquires and analyzes program guide data to determine multiple time-delayed start content;
a filter that filters undesired content and enables desired data streams to be saved in at least one global memory device; and
a guide that creates a program guide comprising only non-filtered programs being offered at time-delayed start times wherein the guide is configured to create multiple listings in the program guide showing a real-time versus a delayed-start time for each program.

Abstract
A global program guide pause function in a broadcast multimedia system including a first main control configured to process multimedia content received from a packet processor, the first main control including an analyzer module for acquiring and analyzing program guide data to determine multiple time-delayed start content, a filtration module for filtering undesired content and enabling desired data streams to be saved in at least one global memory device, and a guide module for creating a program guide comprising only non-filtered programs being offered at time-delayed start times. The guide module is further configured to create multiple listings in the program guide showing a real-time versus a delayed-start time for each non-filtered program. A popular stream packet processor can be provided for saving data content corresponding to popular programs.
