Abstract:
A media client device may receive an electronic programming guide (EPG) including channel identifiers for a plurality of Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) channels and a plurality of Internet Protocol (IP) channels. The media client device may receive a first tuning request including a first channel identifier from the EPG, and may provide, to a second device, a first request for a source Universal Resource Locator (URL). The media client device may receive, from the second device, a source URL, wherein the source URL includes data indicating that the source URL corresponds to an IP channel and may provide the source URL to a third device via a first IP communication session. The media client device may receive via the first IP communication session, and from the third device, content segments associated with the IP channel and may provide, to a fourth device, the content segments for display.
