Abstract: A method and system for capturing, storing, and streaming over the air broadcasts based on user requests is disclosed. The system and method utilize subarrays of antenna elements for receiving over the air broadcasts. Processing pipelines are used to demodulate, transcode and index the content transmissions to produce content data that are streamed to users. In this way, the feeds from antennas can be accessed by users over a network connection.

Abstract: An installation includes one or more card cages, which hold antenna array cards for capturing over the air content. The one or more card cages are installed at a cage site, such as a shelter located on the roof of a structure or a floor within the structure. The card cages are powered by a power supply, which is housed within a power supply site. The power supply site is typically a shelter on the roof of the structure or the floor within the structure.

Abstract: The purpose of dynamically tuning in dense arrays is to improve power received and signal quality. In traditional phased array the inherent design procedure is to design for good matching over the frequency and scan angle of operation. Typically this is done in the overall design based on a priori knowledge of the frequency, relative phasing and amplitude distribution of all the elements. With this a priori knowledge the design can be done based on known mutual coupling.

Abstract: A Graphical User Interface (GUI) for displaying broadcast television on a mobile device. The GUI is intended for use with a cloud-based digital video recorder and includes a programming guide, allowing users to watch live television or record programs for later viewing. The invention also includes a system for displaying comments about television programs in a social networking environment. The comments are entered and distributed relative to a particular point in a television program rather than in real time, allowing users to comment on a television program even when they are not watching the program at the same time.

Abstract: Multi-band antennae used for television reception of at least two different frequency bands enable multi-band reception with an electrically small antenna. The designs are applicable to individual antenna elements, two dimensional arrays, three dimensional arrays, and arrays constructed for high volumetric efficiency. By using the multi-band element, greater frequency reception is achieved with greater density possible in the antenna arrays.

Abstract: A method and system for streaming to wirelessly stream multimedia content through computing devices to parasitically powered receivers without the use of an additional AC power cord. The computing devices access streaming content and wirelessly transmit the streaming content to parasitically powered receivers. The parasitically powered receivers decode and demodulate the streamed content and then transfer the streamed content to the display devices.

Abstract: A method and system for capturing, storing, and streaming over the air broadcasts based on user requests is disclosed. The system and method utilize an antenna system that receives all the different frequency channels simultaneously. The received signals are then amplified and a series of filters are used to filter the signal to differentiate the different frequencies. The signals are then decoded and duplicated for each user based on user requests.

Abstract: A method and system optimally selecting antenna elements based on the current availability of antenna elements and the current usage of other antenna elements within a two or three dimensional array. The present system and method pertain to an approach to allow the maximal usage of each antenna element while simultaneously reducing the coupling between antenna elements to improve the signal strength in each antenna element by ensuring that antenna elements in the same incident path are not tuned to the same frequency or physically or electrically near elements tuned to identical or adjacent frequencies.

Abstract: An approach to enable users to control and direct video from streaming video sources uses target devices for displaying video selected on control devices. The switching and control path is provided in the cloud, i.e., by the streaming video source. Further described is an approach to mirror the content displayed on the control device to the target device. In this way, viewers other than the operator of the control device can view available video lists and thus take part in the video selection process.

Abstract: A method and system for enabling users to access video capture services from a home market while temporarily located in outside of it, i.e., roaming. The user temporarily located outside of their home market uses a regional system as a proxy in a home market in which the user is able to receive regional content. The regional system then transfers the regional content to the roaming user.

Abstract: A system and method to rapidly switch from a primary content stream to a secondary content stream with minimal delay is provided. In operation, there will often be unused antenna elements. These unused antenna elements will be assigned to capture secondary content that users are most likely to request when changing from their primary content stream to another content stream. Thus, secondary content streams are predicatively captured in preparation of a user requesting a new content stream. The content is stored in a short term buffer is continually aged until a user requests the secondary content. Once requested, the content stream is immediately available to the user requesting the content stream. Also disclosed is a system for prioritized transcoding. Real-time requests for content transmissions are given access to transcode resources whereas requests to record content transmissions are temporary stored for off-peak transcoding.
