Abstract:
A method and a user node for enabling reception of a TV service. The user node operates in a first reception mode of receiving the TV service as signals broadcasted over the air and in a second reception mode of receiving the TV service as a media stream over an Internet Protocol Television, IPTV, link The user node monitors quality of the broadcasted signals when receiving the TV service in the first reception mode. The user node switches operation from the first reception mode to the second reception mode responsive to the monitored quality of the broadcasted signals being below a first threshold. Thereafter, the user node receives the TV service over the IPTV link in the second reception mode. The TV service can be properly received and played out with satisfying user experience irrespective of the broadcasted signals over the air not reaching the user node with sufficient quality.
