Abstract

A client-server architecture allows audio video display device (AVDD) devices to obtain advertisements. A gateway server contacted by the AVDD pursuant to AVDD energization sends a link to the AVDD to a link server, from which the AVDD downloads only links to secondary ad servers. The gateway server also sends one or more links to the AVDD to primary ad servers. The AVDD presents ads from the primary and secondary ad server simultaneously.
