Abstract: This technology relates generally to television set-top-boxes (STBs), and more particularly to sharing program information between STBs using voice communication. In one embodiment, a method of sharing television (TV) program information between STBs is disclosed. The method includes obtaining, by a control unit, program-specific-information of TV content selected by a first user using a first STB. The program-specific-information may be converted into a voice message by a Text-to-Speech (TTS) converter. The method further includes establishing, using a first Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) associated with the first STB, a voice call from the first STB to a second STB. The voice message associated with the program-specific-information may be transmitted from the first SIM to a second SIM associated with the second STB over the voice call using a first modulation scheme.

Abstract: A method and system for uninterrupted broadcast content provisioning is disclosed. The method and system includes receiving one or more transport streams corresponding to one or more broadcast programs. The one or more transport streams may be transmitted using one or more of a satellite medium, a cable medium, and a terrestrial medium. One or more of the one or more received broadcast programs are then monitored using one or more hardware processor to detect an interruption in reception of the one or more of the one or more broadcast programs. On detecting an interruption, the one or more of the one or more broadcast programs are rendered automatically from one or more standby sources from the point of interruption of the one or more of the one or more broadcast programs.
