Abstract: A processing system receives a user-generated media recording, and metadata associated with the user-generated feedback, from a first device. The user-generated media recording is a recording of the public end-user captured during a live media broadcast using a public-user interface on the first device. The metadata includes information linking the user-generated media recording to the live media broadcast. The system stores the user-generated media recording and the first metadata in one or more storage devices, and transmits a version of the user-generated media recording and at least a portion of the first metadata to a private-user interface on a second device. The private-user interface is configured to receive input from a private end-user selecting the version of the user-generated media recording for broadcast during the same live media broadcast during which the user-generated media recording was created.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of simulating the effects of a plurality of channels on a signal that includes the steps of acquiring a state transition matrix for each of said plurality of channels; acquiring an error matrix for each of said plurality of channels; selecting the first channel to be simulated; assuming that the signal is in a particular state; receiving the signal; generating a first number; determining the state to which the signal transitions; transitioning the signal to the state determined in the last step; generating a second number; determining what errors, if any, to inject into the signal by comparing the second number to entries in the column of the error matrix of the corresponding channel that matches the state of the signal; if one of the errors determined in the last step is lost signal then discarding the signal, not injecting any other error into the signal, selecting another channel if the user desires, assuming that the next signal selected is in the same state to which the
