A broadcast signal is received that includes a data identifier that
identifies data associated with the broadcast signal. The broadcast
signal also includes the data associated with the broadcast signal
encoded in the broadcast signal. The data associated with the broadcast
signal includes an indicator to ignore the data identifier contained in
the broadcast signal. The system decodes the data encoded in the
broadcast signal while ignoring the data identifier contained in the
broadcast signal. The indicator to ignore the data identifier contained
in the broadcast signal may include an associated time period during
which the data identifier should be ignored. The data identifier is
broadcast in scan line twenty-one of a broadcast image. The data
associated with the broadcast signal is encoded in vertical blanking
interval lines of a broadcast image.
