Digital decoder having a so-called "playback" mode of operation and comprising two buffer memories A digital decoder for television receiver, comprises an input (e) for receiving a digital audio/video signal (sav), means for demodulating and decoding the input signal into an output signal intended for the television receiver, and a first buffer memory (8) into which the input signal is diverted after demodulation (sd) when the decoder is placed in a so-called “live” mode of operation. In a so-called “playback” mode of operation, the signal recorded in the first buffer memory constitutes the output signal. Thomson Licensing |
