Zusammenfassung:A system processes packetized program information, from different broadcast sources, containing programs and program specific information including associated content rating data. A program specific parameter of a desired program is selected (310,320,330) based on its source from equivalent parameters from alternative broadcast sources. The desired program is processed (337) for display, recording or playback using the selected program specific parameter. The selected program specific parameter may comprise a content rating that is mapped (323) to a different program content rating system and used in multi-level validation (315,335) of authorization to access the desired program.
