Audio and video transmission and receiving system

Abstract

Abstract The invention generally relates to the transmission of compressed digital video information to a remote user reception system. More particularly, a method is provided of providing multiplexed data blocks comprising compressed digital video information via satellite to a remotely located user reception system comprising: associating a program note with video information; storing program note information in an item database; converting the video information into a predetermined format as first formatted digital data blocks; sequencing the first formatted digital data blocks; compressing the first formatted digital data blocks using a compression process that comprises discrete cosine transform and motion compensation; multiplexing the first compressed formatted digital data blocks with second compressed formatted digital data blocks by placing data blocks interleaved onto a transmission path; and transmitting the multiplexed data blocks via satellite to the remotely located user reception system.
