Abstract

Systems and methods allow playback of a placeshifted media stream received via a network. The placeshifted media stream is received and stored in a buffer prior to playback. Responsive to receiving the user command to change the content of the media stream, the buffer is flushed prior to receiving the changed content in the placeshifted media stream.
