Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for capturing, transcoding, and caching off-air programming at a location local to the consumer. According to certain embodiments, a device is provided that receives off-air (e.g., broadcast) and/or cable (e.g., ClearQAM) programming via one or more antennas and caches the programming in various streams having various bit rates for later viewing using, for example, Adaptive Bit Rate (ABR) streaming. Such a device can be incorporated in a larger system that can stream content via a data communication network (e.g., the Internet) and the device in a seamless manner. The device also can be controlled by a remote system via the data communication network, and further can be configured to stream content to a remote device via the data communication network.

Claim (Index 2):
An at-home device for receiving and delivering television programming, the at-home device comprising:\n an over-the-air television tuner that receives over-the-air local television broadcasts from an over-the-air antenna installed at a home of a user; a memory; a wireless communication interface that communicates with a wireless network, the wireless communication interface being distinct from the over-the-air television tuners; and one or more processors communicatively coupled with the over-the-air television tuner, the memory, and the wireless communication interface, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:\n perform an initial setup of the at-home device to determine a plurality of over-the-air broadcast television channels that are received using the over-the-air television tuner via the over-the-air antenna at the home; \n provide, via the Internet to a content manager hosted by a remote content provider system, an indication of the plurality of over-the-air broadcast television channels determined during the performed initial setup of the at-home device; \n receive a request to transmit a stream of an over-the-air broadcast television channel from the plurality of over-the-air broadcast television channels based on: (1) a request from a remote computerized device, and 2) the indication of the plurality of the over-the-air broadcast television channels determined during the performed initial setup of the at-home device; \n receive, from the over-the-air antenna via the over-the-air television tuner, an over-the-air broadcast of the requested over-the-air broadcast television channel; \n transcode the over-the-air broadcast of the requested over-the-air broadcast television channel into a different video compression format to create a transcoded video stream; and \n output, via the wireless communication interface, at least a portion of the transcoded video stream to the remote computerized device via the wireless network in response to the request.
