A television viewer can select among a choice of available camera
angles and audio feeds when viewing a sporting event such as a
football game without changing the television channel. Audio, video and
control data are transmitted in packetized data streams with control
data providing a pre-assigned channel designation. A set-top terminal
receives and processes the data streams according to user-provided
commands. The terminal includes software which can be downloaded
via the data streams or installed locally. The control data in the data
stream is used to provide an on-screen graphical display on the
television that allows the user to select the audio and video which
corresponds to certain areas of the football stadium, for example.
