Abstract: Described herein are techniques for presenting non-common content in association with common content to end users (110). A television receiver (104) receives common content (102) as well as one or more portions of non-common content. The television receiver determines (608) whether to present the non-common content based on criteria associated with the non-common content and parameters associated with the television receiver. As appropriate, the non-common content may be overlaid (610) onto the common content, presenting the user with content that may be localized or otherwise personalized for the user.

Abstract translation: 这里描述的是用于向终端用户（110）呈现与公共内容相关联的非常见内容的技术。 电视接收机（104）接收公共内容（102）以及非共同内容的一个或多个部分。 电视接收机根据与非共同内容相关的标准和与电视接收机相关联的参数确定（608）是否呈现非公共内容。 适当地，可以将非公共内容覆盖（610）到公共内容上，向用户呈现可以为用户本地化或以其他方式个性化的内容。

Abstract: Various embodiments of apparatus and/or methods are described for skipping, filtering and/or replacing content from an audio/video stream using text data associat ed with the audio/video stream. The text data is processed using location information th at references a segment of the text data of the first audio/video stream to identify a location within the first audio/video stream. The location within the first audio/video stream i s utilized to identify portions of the audio/video stream that are to be skipped during presentation. The portions of the audio/video stream that are to be skipped are filtered from the audio/video stream, and some of the skipped portions of the audio/video stre am are replaced with substitute content. The filtered video stream, including the substitute content, is outputted for presentation to a user.

Abstract: Various embodiments of apparatus and/or methods are described for identifying multiple segments of content in a recorded audio/video stream. Thus, an audio/video stream may be segmented into various logical chapters, scenes or other sections and the like. The segments of the audio/video stream may then be selectably viewed by a user. A DVR presents the selected segments and automatically ski ps over the undesignated segment of the audio/video stream.

Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for democratic allocation of bandwidth. A user (416) of an entertainment device (102) may select to access content from a large catalog of available content. A content source (104) initially begins providing the content to a user device (102) over a low-bandwidth connection, such as an internet protocol (IP) connection. The content source tabulates the number of users accessing the content over the low-bandwidth connection (904). If bandwidth becomes available over a high-bandwidth connection, then the content source selects the content for transmission over the high-bandwidth (908) connection based on the number of users (600) accessing the content. The client device may then begin downloading the content over the high-bandwidth connection rather than the low-bandwidth connection, resulting in a faster completion of the download for the user.
