Abstract: An apparatus (16) for recording a selected program includes a decoder (32), a recorder (34), and a user interface (36). The user interface (36) permits a user to select the program. The decoder (32) receives a data stream including, a start data packet, content data packets, and an end data packet associated with the selected program. The decoder (32) detects the start data packet associated with the selected program and begins the recorder (34) recording. The context data packets are recorded until the decoder (32) detects the end data packet associated with the selected program and stops the recorder (34).

Abstract: A device (1800) for processing an input data stream comprising a sequence of input frames, wherein the device (1800) comprises a processing unit (1802) for generating an output data stream as a trick-play stream comprising a sequence of output frames based on the input data stream and based on a predetermined replication rate, and a timing unit (1803) for assigning timing information to the output frames, said timing information being based on timing information of the sequence of input frames.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device of enabling inheritance of a digital content item. There is provided a method and a device by which inheritance of a digital content item is enabled by means of acquiring an inheritance license for an encrypted digital content item. The inheritance license specifies operations that are allowed to be performed on the content item after the death of its proprietor. Further, a death certificate of the proprietor of the encrypted content item is accessed, wherein authorization is given to perform at least a subset of the operations specified in the inheritance license on the encrypted content item.
