... My guess is that it would look something like: 1) The content developer, e.g. Disney, must define a set of btv: URLs for the TV networks and/or shows which it wishes to access. Correct. They're the ones that know what resources they want to access. 2) It must specify the TV network and/or show associated with each btv: URL. or other information, correct. 3) It must provide the resulting database to the network operators (cable, DSS, ISP, etc.). Yes, this information will be carried as part of the data content. 4) The network operator must convert the database into a proprietary format which its STB clients can understand (e.g. ATSC channels and times). Yes, except for the "proprietary" part (unless it's a propriatary broadcast format). The format for conveying the information to the broadcaster should be a standard. We are working on an ATSC table definition to carry the mappings (and this same table should pretty much work on DVB, too). Is this correct? Has there been any discussion as to how these mappings are maintained, communicated and translated? Huge amounts, mainly within ATSC. Craig
