Patent ID: 8532459

Claim:
A method comprising the steps of: recording digital video bitstream of a currently selected digital video source; predicting a predicted next video program to be selected; recording a digital video bitstream of a predicted video source in response to said predicted next video program to be selected; reading and decoding said recorded digital video bitstream of said currently selected digital video source for output to a display; reading said recorded digital video bitstream of said predicted digital video source for simultaneously decoding with said reading of said recorded digital bitstream of said currently selected digital video source; and decoding said read recorded digital video bitstream of said predicted digital video source for representing to a display when a digital video source change request corresponds to said predicted digital video source, wherein said recorded currently selected digital video bitstream is read into a first bit-buffer for decoding, said recorded predicted digital video bitstream is read into a second bit-buffer simultaneously with said reading of said recorded currently selected digital for said presentation when said request is received.
