Media content distribution

A server comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, the memory including instructions executable by the processor to perform operations, the operations including:
• causing a first content stream to be transmitted to a media device via a satellite distribution system and causing a second content stream to be concurrently transmitted to the media device via a terrestrial distribution system, wherein the first content stream is formed by encoding media content, and wherein the second content stream has a first bit rate and is formed by encoding an audio portion of the media content;
• receiving a first indication of a disruption of the first content stream;
• after receiving the first indication, causing a first change from transmission of the second content stream to transmission of a third content stream of the media content to the media device via the terrestrial distribution system, the third content stream having a second bit rate greater than the first bit rate;
• receiving a second indication of a mitigation of the disruption of the first content stream;
• and
• after receiving the second indication, ceasing the transmission of the third content stream of the media content to the media device via the terrestrial distribution system.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• causing a first content stream to be transmitted to a media device via a satellite distribution system and causing a second content stream to be concurrently transmitted to the media device via a terrestrial distribution system, wherein the first content stream is formed by encoding media content, and wherein the second content stream has a first bit rate and is formed by encoding an audio portion of the media content;
• receiving a first indication of a disruption of the first content stream;
• after receiving the first indication, causing a first change from transmission of the second content stream to transmission of a third content stream of the media content to the media device via the terrestrial distribution system, the third content stream having a second bit rate greater than the first bit rate;
• receiving a second indication of a mitigation of the disruption of the first content stream;
• and
• after receiving the second indication, ceasing the transmission of the third content stream of the media content to the media device via the terrestrial distribution system.
