Various embodiments of systems, methods, and computer programs for
implementing radio frequency (RF) and Internet Protocol (IP) virtual
channel maps (VCM) in an integrated RF/IP digital video receiver (DVR)
are provided. One embodiment comprises a method for managing virtual
channel information in an integrated RF/IP digital video receiver. One
such method comprises: receiving a data set associated with at least one
IP transport stream; determining at least one virtual channel number
(VCN) and at least one corresponding delivery parameter associated with
the IP transport stream; and associating the VCN with the delivery
parameter in a virtual channel map (VCM).
