Abstract:
A method includes receiving media content at a media server and encoding the media content to form a first content stream. The method includes encoding an audio portion of the media content to form a second content stream having a first bit rate. The method includes causing the first content stream to be transmitted to a media device via a satellite distribution system and causing the second content stream to be concurrently transmitted to the media device via a terrestrial distribution system. The method also includes receiving an indication of a disruption of the first content stream at the media device, and, after receiving the indication, causing a change from transmission of the second content stream to transmission of a third content stream of the media content to the media device via the terrestrial distribution system. The third stream has a second bit rate greater than the first bit rate.
