Abstract
According to embodiments of the present invention, a receiver obtains service location information which defines current and next sources from which a data stream can be obtained, and a switching time at which the source of the data stream will be switched from the current source to the next source. Before the switching time, the receiver receives the data stream from the current source, and after the switching time, the receiver receives the data stream from the next source. The next source can be defined in initial service location information, or in updated service location information obtained later. An apparatus and method for providing the service location information are also disclosed. In some embodiments, a broadcast provider and/or the receiver can execute a method to compensate for an IP delay experienced by the receiver.
