Abstract: Content capture and distribution systems and techniques are described. In an example, radio frequency signals that carry content are captured by one or more antennas of a content capture system. The content is converted from radio frequency signals the carry the content into an internet protocol format by the content capture system. The converted content is transmitted by the content capture system via a network transfer protocol (e.g., HTTP) for receipt by a content distribution system via a network. The converted content is configured by the content distribution system for streaming via a network streaming protocol. The content is then streamed by the content distribution system via the network using the network streaming protocol for receipt and rendering by at least one client device.

Abstract: Various implementations process a television content stream to detect program boundaries such as the starting point and ending point of the program. In at least some implementations, program boundaries such as intermediate points between the starting point and ending point of the program are also detected. The intermediate points correspond to where a program pauses for secondary content such as an advertisement or advertisements, and then resumes once the secondary content has run. Once program boundaries are detected, primary content is isolated by removing secondary content that occurs before the starting point and after the ending point. In at least some implementations, secondary content that occurs between detected intermediate points is also removed. The primary content is then recorded without secondary content that originally comprised part of the original television content stream.
