Abstract

See full text

A television Set-top box based content server consistent with certain embodiments of the present invention has a receiver that receives a transport stream containing data representing content in packets, wherein the packets are identified by packet identifiers (PIDs). A PID filter selects packets having a specified PID. A mapper maps packets having the specified PID to an Internet Protocol (IP) address. The mapper uses the PID as an index to a translation table and retrieves the IP address from the translation table. A packet converter converts the packets identified by the specified PID to an IP packet having the IP address. A router, such as a wireless ultra-wideband router, routes the IP packet to a recipient according to the IP address.
