Abstract
A method of implementing a hybrid broadcast-unicast television is provided herein. The method may include: broadcasting a stream of a user-requested content over a digital television (DTV) channel; monitoring at least one qualitative criterion of the stream broadcasted over the DTV channel; in case that the monitored qualitative criterion is below a predefined threshold, switching said user to an internet protocol (IP) channel that corresponds to same stream of said DTV channel; and in a case that after switching to the IP channel, the monitored qualitative criterion becomes equal to or above said predefined threshold, switching back said user to said DTV channel, wherein the switching from the IP channel to the DTV channel comprises buffering the stream of the DTV channel through the IP channel so as to preserve continuity of the stream received by the user.
