INTEGRATING MEDIA CONTENT FOR LOCAL CHANNELS AND SUBSCRIPTION CHANNELS

摘要

An integrated media platform employs techniques for streaming local and subscriber content. These techniques include determining at least one local channel is available over an over-the-air (OTA) communication network, receiving subscriber content for at least one subscriber channel over a first communication network, providing metadata content for display by a client device, where the metadata content includes information for the at least one subscriber channel and the at least one local channel, receiving a request for local content associated with the at least one local channel, tuning a network interface (e.g., an antenna) to receive the local content over the OTA network, transcoding the local content into streaming content, and providing the local content to one or more client devices connected to a local access network (LAN).
