  • Method and apparatus for the recording the reproduction of transmitted programme contribution
    Patent number: 7088909
    Abstract: In the context of recording program contributions, in particular television transmissions, it is frequently undesirable for the advertising blocks broadcast during the transmission also to be recorded and displayed in the event of subsequent reproduction. The invention is concerned with the problem of reliably suppressing such advertising blocks in the event of subsequent reproduction. To that end, it proposes firstly recording the transmission including the broadcast advertising blocks and then carrying out a search during which the beginning and the end of the advertising blocks (WU1–WU3) are marked.
