Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: detecting a trigger in a first transport stream, wherein the trigger determines a location in the first transport stream that is a switch point for tuning from the first transport stream to a second transport stream; receiving a last frame of audio/video content in the first transport stream, the last frame immediately preceding the switch point; after the receiving of the last frame, initiating a switch to the second transport stream by: processing the last frame through an audio/video decoder simultaneous with the initiating of the switch to the second transport stream; outputting the last frame from the audio/video decoder; after the processing of the last frame and the outputting of the last frame, disabling output of the audio/video decoder; after the initiating of the switch to the second transport stream, receiving a first frame of audio/video content in the second transport stream; after the disabling of the output of the audio/video decoder, processing the first frame through the audio/video decoder; and after the processing of the first frame, enabling the output of the audio/video decoder and outputting the first frame.
