Abstract:
Methods and systems for providing alternate content are disclosed. An example method can comprise determining a failure condition of a content stream. A channel identifier can be determined for the content stream, and alternate content streams associated with the channel identifier can be determined. The alternate content streams can be accessible via a different protocol, frequency, or network path than the content stream. For example, the alternate content streams can be accessible via a packet-switched network path instead a non-packet-switched network path used to access the content stream.
