Abstract

Various methods, systems, and apparatuses can be used to obscure advertisements during trick mode operations. In some implementations, the trick mode stream can be selected so as to not include advertisement frames within the trick mode stream. Upon resuming normal operation, the advertisements can be included within the normal playback stream.
