Abstract: A method for recording and storing independent and/or simultaneous transport streams of data is suggested. The inventive method comprises at least a recording mode in which at least a first transport stream of data to be recorded/stored is received. The transport streams are divided into series of packets with respect to a predefined clock or with respect to their temporal relationships. To each transport stream and to the series of packets respectively a packet identifier is assigned. A series of partial transport streams is generated from at least said series of packet identifiers and said series of packets. A time series of said partial transport streams based on said clock is recorded and stored as a combined transport stream.
