Abstract:
The invention is a system for time shifting live, streamed video and/or audio distributed via a global computer network, e.g., the Internet. The invention is preferably implemented as client-server software, with the possibility of both the client and the server running on the same PC. Alternatively, the system software may be embedded within a digital VCR information appliance, giving the system the ability to time shift and display Internet content as well as broadcast video content received via cable or satellite.
