Video interactivity via connectivity through a conditional access system

摘要

Methods and systems for accessing DVD off-disc content using a broadband conditional access network are described. In one embodiment, content is read from optical media and based on that content, a request is initiated to a conditional access network interface for content not stored on the optical media. Content is supplied in response to the request and received from the conditional access network interface. Graphical display signals are generated for a user display based on the content supplied in response to the request.
