Abstract

Techniques for providing instantaneous video-on-deniand are disclosed. According to one aspect of the techniques, a method compris storing a lead portion of an object in a set top box (905) prior to receiving a request for consumption of the object, receiving a request for consumption of the object, initiating consumption of the lead portion, and receiving at least some of a balance portion of the object during consumption of the object. The size of the lead portion may be computed to reduce the likelihood of consumption interruption, by an algorithm accounting for download speed, object size, and playback time, based on communication channel conditions, a worst case channel condition over a predetermined window of time, object popularity, or the expected demand of the object. The size of the lead portion my also be computed so that the final bit of the balance portion of the object is expected to be received before the final bit is needed for consumption.
