Abstract

A method is provided for adding extended content data during data stream acquisition. The method includes receiving a request for a transition from a first data stream to a second data stream within a transitioning time period. The method also includes determining whether a timing of the transition is sufficient for insertion of at least a first portion of extended content data during the transition. The method also includes selecting the first portion of the extended content data as insertion content if the timing of the transition is sufficient for insertion of the first portion of the extended content data. The method also includes selecting a second portion of the extended content data as the insertion content if the timing is insufficient for insertion of the first portion of the extended content. The method also includes causing the insertion content to be presented to a user during the transition.
