Abstract:

A system and method includes a user receiving device receiving a linear content signal from a head end and a client device in communication with the user receiving device. The user receiving device generates renderable signal from the live linear content and communicates the linear content signal or renderable signal to the client device as a display signal. The client device comprises a virtual reality application defining a television display area for a graphics display of a virtual reality display device. The virtual reality application scales the linear content signal or the renderable signal to correspond to the television display area to form scaled content. The virtual reality display device displays virtual reality graphics with the scaled content in the television display area.
