Abstract: A system and method are described that provide television content broadcast system subscribers with convenient access to aggregated web feed content. In one embodiment, a television content broadcast system (20) maintains a database (21) linking one or more particular subscribers with one or more sources of web feed content. The television content broadcast system (20) downloads web feed content for a subscriber from the one or more sources associated with the subscriber, either at the user's request or to a cache (22). The television content broadcast system (20) sends the downloaded web feed content through a web content interface (30(2)) to a television receiver (41), or through a web content interface (30(3)) to a local memory (51) in a set-top box (50). In another embodiment, the television content broadcast subscribers also have accounts on a web content aggregation system (10).

The television content broadcast system (20) downloads web feed content for a subscriber from the one or more sources associated with the subscriber, either at the user's request or to a cache (22). The television content broadcast system (20) sends the downloaded web feed content through a web content inter-face (30(2)) to a television receiver (41), or through a web content inter-face (30(3)) to a local memory (51) in a set-top box (50). In another embodiment, the television content broadcast subscribers also have accounts on a web content aggregation system (10).

Abstract: A system displays web feed content on television. A web feed content aggregation system retrieves syndicated web feed content on a web subscription basis, wherein the web feed content aggregation system includes a library that is organized in a web genre tree format including a root node branching to at least one website node, and cataloged by website classes, feed categories and topics. A television content broadcast system broadcasts television content on a television subscription basis. The web feed content aggregation system and the television content broadcast system are interfaced as a function of an account association between a web feed content aggregation subscription account and a television content broadcast subscription account. The system facilitates user management of a television display of the web feed content as a function of the account association of the web feed content aggregation subscription account and the television content broadcast subscription account.
