Abstract

Methods and systems for presenting enhanced previously recorded broadcasted or streamed content are provided. Example embodiments provide an Enhanced Content Display System 'ECDS,' (200) which supports the management and presentation of previously recorded program content in a non-linear fashion and allows subscribers, using a variety of techniques, to specify which portions of programs of other content is of interest, thus enhancing their viewing experiences. In one embodiment, the ECDS (200) includes an Intelligent Media Data Server (211) ('IMDS') that generates enhanced meta-data (210) that are associated with portions of the delivered broadcasted content or video content. Using the generated enhanced meta-data (212), the ECDS (200) helps subscribers locate, organize, and otherwise manage content that is delivered from a content distribution facility. This abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an abstract, and it is submitted with the intention that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
