Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving a signal that was broadcast from a broadcast station in a first geographic location using a transmitter during a first time frame, the first geographic location defined as an area where a strength of the signal is sufficient for a receiver to detect the signal, the signal containing information capable of being reproduced; encoding the signal to produce an encoded signal suitable for transmission via a world wide network; transmitting the encoded signal via the world wide network; receiving the encoded signal and converting it into a decoded signal in a second geographic location, the second geographic location defined as an area where the strength of the signal is insufficient for the receiver to detect the signal; storing the decoded signal; and reproducing the information in the decoded signal in the second geographic location at a time chosen by a user of the information in the second geographic location during a second time frame; where a delay between the first time frame and the second time frame is greater than a delay caused by receiving the signal, encoding the received signal, transmitting the encoded signal, receiving the encoded signal, and decoding the encoded signal.
