摘要： A method, a server, and a non-transitory computer readable medium are disclosed for switching from a radio frequency (RF) signal to an Internet Protocol (IP) connection based on rain fade events. The method includes receiving, on a server, current rain fade event data from one or more set-top boxes; receiving, on the server, past rain fade event data from the one or more set-top boxes; receiving, on the server, past weather data; receiving, on the server, current weather data; calculating, on the server, a likelihood of the one or more set-top boxes experiencing a rain fade event; and sending, from the server, an IP message to switch from the radio frequency (RF) signal to the Internet Protocol (IP) connection to each of the one or more set-top boxes likely to experience the rain fade event before the rain fade event occurs.
