Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
at a stitcher of a device, wherein the device further includes a tuner and a re-multiplexer:
receiving from the re-multiplexer, while the tuner is tuned to receive a stream carrying a first set of transport stream (TS) packets, a splice message indicating a start time and an end time of a splice period;
in response to receiving the splice message, detecting a video packet and an audio packet in the stream crossing the start time of the splice period, wherein the video packet is associated with a video packet identifier (PID) and the audio packet is associated with an audio PID; and
injecting to the stream a second set of TS packets associated with a targeted content item within the splice period, including:
re-stamping the second set of TS packets with a respective one of the video PID and the audio PID and with corresponding timestamps of the first set of TS packets, and re-stamping the first set of TS packets with a predefined PID starting from the video packet and the audio packet, and;
ceasing to re-stamp the first set of TS packets and the second set of TS packets when a respective audio packet in the first set of TS packets crosses the end time.
