Patent ID: 8522266

Claim:
A set-top box, comprising: A memory storing computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause the set top box to: receive a broadcast stream, a portion of the broadcast stream having a first priority indicator; receive media separate from the broadcast stream, the media having a second priority indicator; determine whether the first priority indicator is greater than the second priority indicator prior to receiving a signal configured to modify the first priority indicator from a first priority to a second priority; in response to determining that the first priority indicator is greater than the second priority indicator, delay insertion of the separate media into the broadcast stream until the first priority indicator is modified; receive the signal configured to modify the first priority indicator from the first priority to the second priority; modify the first priority indicator from the first priority to the second priority in response to receiving the signal; determine whether the modified first priority indicator is lower than the second priority indicator; and replace the portion of the broadcast stream with the separate media in response to determining that the modified first priority indicator is lower than the second priority indicator.
