Method amp; Apparatus for an Enhanced Television Viewing Experience

摘要

Embodiments of the invention include methods and systems to provide an enhanced television experience via a receiver that can access both broadcast and Internet content and can combine elements from both into a single enhanced display. Broadcast-delivered and Internet-delivered content elements are aligned in context by extending the data in an electronic program guide to include an Internet Universal Resource Locator (“URL”) for each program. The URL is used by the receiver to access the supplemental content on the Internet corresponding to a specific broadcast program.
