Abstract: Distributing content over a network includes providing an information handling system (IHS) with an interface module used to couple to a signal from a content provider. A virtual IHS management engine dynamically creates a virtual IHS. The virtual IHS then receives the signal. An interface for transmitting the signal from the virtual IHS to a network is also provided.

Abstract: A system and method of accessing digital video broadcasts within an information handling system is disclosed. In one form, a digital video broadcast processing system can include a digital video broadcast receiver module operable to process a first digital video broadcast data received within a multiple channel digital video broadcast signal and to output the first digital video broadcast data to an interconnect bus of a computer system. The digital video broadcast processing system can also include a communication interface operable to be removeably coupled to an interconnect bus interface of the computer system. The communication interface can be operable to communicate the first digital video broadcast data, including an interconnect dependent data format, from the digital video broadcast receiver module to a digital video processing application of the computer system.

Abstract: A configurable television broadcast receiving system includes an analog to digital converter that receives a broadcast television (TV) signal and converts it from an analog signal to a digital signal. A communication interface receives the digital signal and communicates it to a general purpose programmable processor. The processor processes the digital signal by performing arithmetic processes to the signal to create a processed signal. A display device is communicatively coupled to the processor, receives the processed signal and displays a video rendition according to the processed signal.

Abstract: A television (TV) receiver system includes a circuit having a TV tuner. The tuner receives a terrestrial TV broadcast and a mobile TV broadcast. A motion detection system is coupled to the tuner. The motion detection system detects a motion status of the tuner. A broadcast detection system is coupled to the tuner. The broadcast detection system identifies a source of one of the terrestrial TV broadcast and the mobile TV broadcast. A tuner switching system is coupled to the tuner. The tuner switching system causes the tuner, as a function of the motion status, to automatically select one of the terrestrial TV broadcast and the mobile TV broadcast for processing and displaying.

Abstract: A system and method of accessing and recording digital video broadcasts is disclosed. In one form, a method can include receiving a multicast digital video broadcast (DVB) signal and demodulating the multicast DVB signal to access a plurality of DVB data streams. The method can include initiating a processing the plurality of DVB data streams using a first DVB decapsulation module to detect a first DVB data stream and a second DVB data stream. The method can include detecting a first index frame within the first DVB data stream and detecting a second index frame within the second DVB data stream. The method can include storing a second index frame pointer identifying the second index frame and initiating an outputting of the first DVB data stream to a first display window.

Abstract: A system and method of enabling digital video broadcast access within an information handling system is disclosed. In one form, a method of enabling access to digital video broadcasts can include enabling use of a digital video broadcast (DVB) service access module within an information handling system. The method can also include determining an availability of a first DVB carrier using the DVB service access module and a DVB receiver module of the information handling system. The method can further include enabling access to the first DVB carrier, and receiving a first DVB signal including a first DVB channel data. The method can also include outputting the first DVB channel data using a media application of the information handling system.
