Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0051259A1] An interactive sporting event monitoring system (15) includes a determiner for determining whether video blanking interval data is present in a selected television channel, and a decoder (29) for decoding video blanking interval data from the selected television channel. The video blanking interval data from the selected television channel comprises a number of channels of sporting event audio information, and the decoder (29) associates each of the plurality of channels of sporting event audio information with a corresponding channel identifier. Each channel identifier distinguishes a corresponding channel of sporting event audio information from other channels of sporting event audio information. The interactive sporting event monitoring system (15) further includes a user input for accepting a user channel identifier from a user, and a monitor (27) for placing the channel of sporting event audio information that the user desires to monitor (27) in a format to facilitate monitoring thereof by a user.
