Abstract: The disclosure is directed to an apparatus that can include a first receiver, a second receiver, a video demultiplexor, and an assembly engine. The first receiver can receive multiplexed multimedia content and advertisement, the multiplexed multimedia content and advertisement being received over a reduced number of broadcast channels to release at least one of bandwidth and radio frequency spectrum, not included in the reduced number of broadcast channels, for other applications. The second receiver can receive unavailable other content, the unavailable other content being other content that is different from the multiplexed multimedia content and advertisement and unavailable to the apparatus. The video demultiplexor can demultiplex the received multiplexed multimedia content and advertisement from the reduced number of broadcast channels to produce a multimedia content and an advertisement and store, within a storage device, the multimedia content and the advertisement.

Abstract: An apparatus can include a system processor control and a system controller. The system processor can determine a subscriber content price for multimedia content based on a lead-time of electronic delivery of the multimedia content to a customer premises equipment via at least one transport provider servicing the customer premises equipment. The system controller can transmit the subscriber content price to the customer premises equipment and schedule electronic delivery of the multimedia content within the lead-time and in response to a subscriber request to deliver the multimedia content to the customer premises equipment.

Abstract: An apparatus can include an external interface, a video aggregator, and a system controller. The external interface can receive multimedia content directed to a plurality of customer premises equipment. The video aggregator can multiplex the multimedia content directed to the plurality of customer premises equipment. The system controller can electronically deliver the multiplexed multimedia content, within a scheduled lead-time, in response to a subscriber request to electronically deliver the multimedia content to a particular customer premises equipment from the plurality of customer premises equipment. A subscriber content price of the multiplexed multimedia content can be based on the scheduled lead-time of electronic delivery.

Abstract: A customer premises equipment can include a receiver, a video demultiplexer, and an assembly engine. The receiver can receive a subscriber content price, for multimedia content, based on a scheduled lead-time of electronic delivery of the multimedia content via at least one transport provider servicing the customer premises equipment, and receive a scheduled delivery of the multimedia content within the scheduled lead-time in response to a subscriber request to deliver the multimedia content to the customer premises equipment. The video demultiplexer can demultiplex the received multimedia content and store selected demultiplexed multimedia content that is received by the customer premises equipment within the scheduled lead-time. The assembly engine can retrieve the stored multimedia content from a storage device and output retrieved multimedia content to a display device.
