Abstract
In the field of data stream transmission, a method of controlling reproduction, especially time-shifted reproduction, of transmitted data streams, including at least a first transmitted data stream and a second data stream, the first stream and the second stream being separate streams, at least one data stream which includes the first transmitted data stream being stored for a predetermined remanence time. The control method includes, during a command to reproduce the second data stream, storing the duration of a shift for reproducing the first stored data stream which is being reproduced. Thus, since the duration of the shift is stored, it can be used to automate the reproduction of any data stream while taking into account the time-shift when changing channels, thus avoiding the reproduction of the live stream, which can disturb the user, in particular by spoiling the viewing of the previous data in the stream (for example, the score of a match, the end of a film, etc.).
