Patent ID: 8302128

Claim:
A digital television receiver that receives non-real time (NRT) content, comprising in combination: a radio frequency tuner that receives a radio frequency modulated channel containing a transport stream and demodulates the channel to produce an output transport stream; the output transport stream containing an Internet Protocol (IP) stream of packets containing non-real time content, a FLUTE file description table (FDT), NRT service metadata and NRT content metadata; an electronic storage medium; a demultiplexer that demultiplexes the IP stream of packets to produce: NRT content that is stored in the electronic storage medium, the FLUTE FDT, NRT service metadata, and NRT content metadata; an NRT metadata parser that produces NRT service metadata; NRT content description text and NRT content metadata; and where the NRT metadata parser further processes NRT content description text derived from a Text Fragment Table (TFT), and where the Text Fragment Table has a linkage element that references entries in a Non-Real-Time Information Table (NRT-IT).
