Abstract
A method of controlling, from a user device, a manner in which program content is received from a content server. The method includes: transmitting, from the user device, at least one transmission-quality-of-service (TXQ) parameter to the content server, wherein the at least one TXQ parameter updates a default TXQ parameter at the content server; and in response to transmitting the at least one TXQ parameter, receiving new program content in accordance with the at least one TXQ parameter.

A method comprising:
- transmitting, from a content server to a user device, a first program content according to two or more transmission-quality-of-service (TXQ) parameters specific to the user device;
- receiving, from the user device, a request that includes an adjustment to at least two of the two or more TXQ parameters;
- assigning, by the content server, a priority to a first TXQ parameter over a second TXQ parameter of the two or more TXQ parameters;
- and
- transmitting, from the content server to the user device, a second program content according to the adjustment to the at least two of the two or more TXQ parameters and the assigned priority.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the conn outing system to perform operations comprising:
- transmitting, from a content server to a user device, a first program content according to two or more transmission-quality-of-service (TXQ) parameters specific to the user device;
- receiving, from the user device, a request that includes an adjustment to at least two of the two or more TXQ parameters;
- assigning, by the content server, a priority to a first TXQ parameter over a second TXQ parameter of the two or more TXQ parameters;
- and
- transmitting, from the content server to the user device, a second program content according to the adjustment to the at least two of the two or more TXQ parameters and the assigned priority.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform a process comprising:
- transmitting, from a content server to a user device, a first program content according to two or more transmission-quality-of-service (TXQ) parameters specific to the user device;
- receiving, from the user device, a request that includes an adjustment to at least two of the two or more TXQ parameters;
- assigning, by the content server, a priority to a first TXQ parameter over a second TXQ parameter of the two or more TXQ parameters;
- and
- transmitting, from the content server to the user device, a second program content according to the adjustment to the at least two of the two or more TXQ parameters and the assigned priority.
