The system and method for displaying Internet-sourced video programming
utilizes a computer system to access and receive a video program from a
video programming source. A video processor (126) in communication with
the personal computer (100) converts the video program into a video
signal for projection, or other video display. In a method for displaying
Internet-sourced video programming, a user's personal computer (100)
serves as a network client to receive digital video programming from a
server (200). In a method for providing Internet-sourced video
programming, an Internet receives video programming from numerous video
programming providers, and redistributes video programs to network
clients. A database (202) contains video programming and programming
information received from the video programming providers (204). The
server (200) creates a programming menu for display and selection by a
network client. On request from the network client, a payment transaction
is completed and a video program item is delivered.
