Patent ID: 8831545

Claim:
A method for guide and frequency map support across multiple networks, the method comprising: receiving a first guide data and a first frequency data for a first network, wherein the first network transmits a first content identified in the first guide data over a first frequency to a first plurality of devices; receiving a second guide data and a second frequency data for a second network, wherein the second network transmits a second content identified in the second guide data over the second frequency to a second plurality of devices; generating aggregated guide and frequency data that includes the first guide data and the first frequency data for the first network, and the second guide data and the second frequency data for the second network; and transmitting the aggregated guide and frequency data to the first plurality of devices and the second plurality of devices over a third frequency that is different than the first frequency and the second frequency, wherein the aggregated guide and frequency data is transmitted separately from the first content and the second content.
