System and method of accessing digital video broadcasts within an information handling system
First Claim
1. A digital video broadcast processing system comprising:
- a digital video broadcast receiver module operable to process a first digital video broadcast data received within a multiple channel digital video broadcast signal and to output the first digital video broadcast data to an interconnect bus of a computer system;
a communication interface operable to be removeably coupled to an interconnect bus interface of the computer system, the communication interface operable to communicate the first digital video broadcast data, including a interconnect dependent data format, from the digital video broadcast receiver module to a digital video processing application of the computer system; and
a digital video broadcast processing module located within the computer system and operable to receive the first digital video broadcast data from the digital video broadcast receiver module via the interconnect bus, and to decode the first digital video broadcast data using a translation code parameter.

Abstract
A system and method of accessing digital video broadcasts within an information handling system is disclosed. In one form, a digital video broadcast processing system can include a digital video broadcast receiver module operable to process a first digital video broadcast data received within a multiple channel digital video broadcast signal and to output the first digital video broadcast data to an interconnect bus of a computer system. The digital video broadcast processing system can also include a communication interface operable to be removeably coupled to an interconnect bus interface of the computer system. The communication interface can be operable to communicate the first digital video broadcast data, including an interconnect dependent data format, from the digital video broadcast receiver module to a digital video processing application of the computer system.
