TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a field of broadcasting and 5 communication system. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a channel authentication system to authenticate live broadcasting of a plurality of channels.
BACKGROUND 10
[0002] Nowadays, service providers deliver media content to customers through one or more set top boxes in real time. The media content is delivered or broadcasted on a display device such as a television connected to a set top box. The media content broadcasted is based on a type of subscription service availed 15 by the customer from the service provider. The service provider provides multiple subscription plans to the customers. Each subscription plan includes a pre-defined number of channels and a list of different channels. These channels are provided by a multiple number of channel providers. In addition, these channels are broadcasted on the display device through the set top box on a pre-20 defined channel position. In an example, channel A is broadcasted on position 25 whereas channel B is broadcasted on position 56. The channels are displayed through an electronic program guide to the customers on the display device in a pre-defined sequence.
25
[0003] Each channel provider provides the right to broadcast the media content on the channel to multiple number of service providers. The channel providers have an exclusive deal with the service providers to broadcast their channel on a pre-defined position. Typically, multiple service providers broadcast a same channel on different positions. The service providers enable broadcasting of paid and free 30 channels. Each paid channel and free channel is broadcasted on a fixed channel
3
position. However, there is a major concern of channel piracy when it comes to broadcasting of media content through set top boxes. One of the issues that have come to light is that various paid channels are being broadcasted on a different channel position than a channel position it was originally supposed to be broadcasted. This creates an issue for the channel provider in the long run and 5 leads to loss of revenue.
[0004] In light of the above stated discussion, there is a need for a system which overcomes the above stated drawbacks.
