Abstract

A mosaic video channel displayed on a monitor, with a plurality of individual video feeds being presented at a given time. A mosaic video channel in accordance with the present invention comprises a plurality of video cells presenting at least video information, each video cell associated with one of the plurality of individual video feeds, a cursor, which can be moved between the plurality of video cells, for selecting at least one characteristic associated with a selected video cell, such that the user can then directly select a video program associated with the selected video cell, and a receiver, coupled to the monitor and receiving the plurality of video feeds and mosaic video channel, wherein a blackout criteria is dynamically programmed into the receiver such that when at least one of the video cells is selected by the cursor, the receiver tunes to a channel other than the individual video feed associated with that video cell.

Claims

6. The mosaic video channel o£ claim 5, wherein the specific mosaic channel access is based on a blackout rule.
7. The mosaic video channel of claim 6, wherein the blackout rule is based on airing of a program on a network affiliate that is received by the receiver.
8. An apparatus for displaying a mosaic video channel, the mosaic video channel having a plurality of video cells being presented at a given time, comprising-. a broadcast delivery system, comprising a transmitter and a receiver; a monitor, coupled to the receiver, for selectively displaying the mosaic video channel, each video cell associated with one of a plurality of individual video feeds; and a cursor, displayed on the monitor, which is movable between the plurality of video cells, for selecting at least one characteristic associated with a selected video cell, such that when a video program associated with die selected video cell is selected, che characteristic of the selected video cell is presented; characterized in that wherein a blackout criteria is dynamically programmed into the receiver such that when at least one of the video cells is selected by the cursor, the receiver tunes to a network affiliate related video feed rather than the individual video feed associated with the selected video cell.
AMENDED SHEET (ARTICLE 19) 32
Ϊ 6. A system fojf selectively displaying a video cell within a mosaic video channel having a plurality of video cells, comprising: a broadcast delivery system, comprising a tran$tnitter and. a receiver; a monitor, coupled to the receiver, for selectively displaying the mosaic video channel, each video cell associated with one of a plurality of individual video feeds; and a cursor, displayed on the monitor, which is movable between the plurality of video cells, for selecting at least one characteristic associated with a selected video cell, such that when a video program associated with the selected video cell is selecced, the characteristic of the selected video cell is presented; characterized in that wherein a blackout criteria is dynamically programmed into the receiver such that when at least one of the video cells is selected by the cursor, the receiver tunes to a network affiliate related video feed rather than the individual video feed associated with the selected video cell.
17. The system of claim 16, wherein the broadcast delivery system is a satellite television delivery system.
