Abstract:
A method and system to facilitate localized replacement of one or more commercials or other instances of base content in a video feed with replacement-media delivered in a separate broadcast TV transport stream. A local TV station that broadcasts to an area covering a video program distributor (VPD) includes supplemental content, such as replacement commercials, within its broadcast in a manner that standard broadcast-TV receivers would disregard but that a equipment at the VPD will receive and process. The equipment at the VPD thus receives the local broadcast from the TV station and extracts from the broadcast the included supplemental content. And equipment at the VPD inserts the extracted supplemental content in place of one or more instances of base content in a transport stream that the VPD receives separately from a video-program source, so as to establish a modified transport stream for delivery to end-user TV receivers.

Claim (Index 15):
A broadcast-TV station configured to provide supplemental media content to a video program distributor (VPD) to enable the VPD to insert the supplemental media content into a transport stream that the VPD outputs for transmission to customer premises equipment (CPE) receivers served by the VPD, the broadcast-TV station comprising:\n a transmitter and antenna structure through which the broadcast-TV station is configured to broadcast, through terrestrial over-the-air transmission in a local market area, a broadcast-TV transport stream comprising a sequence of packets, wherein the broadcast-TV station is configured to include, in the broadcast-TV transport stream, standard-media-content packets that carry standard media content and that are indexed for processing by standard broadcast-TV receivers to enable standard broadcast-TV receivers to process the carried standard media content, and wherein the broadcast-TV station is configured to include, in the broadcast-TV transport stream, supplemental-media-content packets that carry the supplemental media content and that are not indexed for processing by standard broadcast-TV receivers but are recognizable by a computing system at the VPD as being supplemental-media-content packets, to enable the computing system at the VPD to extract the supplemental media content from the supplemental-media-content packets and to insert the extracted supplemental media content into the transport stream that the VPD outputs for transmission to the CPE receivers served by the VPD.
