Abstract

A computer implemented universal set-top-box (STB) method for receiving a plurality of data files (400) including at least one DOD data file (402) and at least one non-DOD data file (404) comprising the acts of: receiving at least one DOD data file (402) in a non-client specific manner such that the DOD data file may be viewed on demand; receiving at least one non-DOD data file (404); providing the EPG data (410) to the user of the universal STB; receiving user input from the user of the universal STB requesting access to the first data file; providing access to the first data file to the user; displaying at least a portion of the DOD data file (402) to the user; and displaying at least a portion of the non-DOD data (404) file to the user.
