Abstract:
The present embodiments provide methods and systems to access additional, enhanced and/or interactive content associated with a broadcast program received over a closed broadcast network. Some embodiments provide methods of enhancing broadcast content by receiving broadcast content from a broadcast content source over a closed network, receiving a request to tune in a broadcast program, tuning in the broadcast program from the broadcast content, extracting a program identification of the broadcast program from the broadcast content, and communicating the program identification to a remote network access device to allow access over a network to additional content associated with the broadcast program.
