Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0124526A1] A VOD service is emulated in an NVOD architecture. Content information is made available to an end-user in the NVOD architecture. An introductory portion of the content information is stored at the end-user's equipment, e.g., by downloading overnight. During playing out of the introductory portion at the end-user enabling the content information supplied in the NVOD architecture is buffered at the end-user's equipment. The equipment is controlled to switch from playing out the introductory portion stored to playing out the buffered content information.
