Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: communicating an unmodified content signal to a user device from an automation system located remotely from the user device through a broadcast system; displaying the unmodified content signal at the user device; generating an encoded modified content signal from the unmodified content signal at the automation system by decoding the unmodified content signal, inserting insertion material into the unmodified content signal during a break and encoding the modified content signal; communicating the encoded modified content signal to the automation system; monitoring the encoded modified content signal and the unmodified content signal at a monitoring system separated from the automation system and the user device; simultaneously displaying both the modified content signal and the unmodified content signal at a display of the monitoring system; thereafter, communicating the encoded modified content signal and not the unmodified content signal to the user device after generating the modified content signal through the broadcast system; thereafter, decoding and displaying the encoded modified content signal at the display of the user device; when a break ends on the unmodified content signal before an end of the insertion material in the modified content signal, generating a termination signal at the monitoring system; communicating the termination signal from the monitoring system to the automation system; controlling the automation system to communicate the unmodified content signal and not the encoded modified content signal to the user device through the broadcast system in response to the termination signal; and displaying the unmodified content signal on the display at the user device.
