Summary:Methods and systems to present data to a viewer, where the data is specific to the viewer and his viewing experience and is stored locally. This data may be, for example, supplemental content or an application, such as a widget. In an embodiment, supplemental content, such as advertising, may be presented to the viewer where this content is aimed at the particular viewer in light of his or her viewer profile. In an alternative embodiment, a widget or other application may be presented to the viewer where the widget is specific to the current programming and thus tailored to the viewer's current viewing experience. In both situations, the data is stored locally and made available with minimal delay.
