System and method of delivering video content

An apparatus comprising:

• processing logic and a memory accessible to the processing logic, wherein the memory includes instructions executable by the processing logic to:
• receive, at a set-top box device, first video content associated with a requested channel from a first source;
• in response to receiving the first video content, request second video content associated with the requested channel from a second source;
• in response to receiving the second video content from the second source, determine whether at least one data packet associated with the requested channel was not received based on a comparison of first data packets corresponding to the first video content received from the first source and second data packets corresponding to the second video content received from the second source;
• and
• in response to a determination that at least one data packet was not received, send a retry request to the first source, wherein the retry request includes an overhead bandwidth factor.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising processor-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• receive, at a set-top box device, first video content associated with a requested channel from a first source;
• in response to receiving the first video content, request second video content associated with the requested channel from a second source;
• in response to receiving the second video content from the second source, determine whether at least one data packet associated with the requested channel was not received based on a comparison of first data packets corresponding to the first video content received from the first source and second data packets corresponding to the second video content received from the second source;
• and
• in response to a determination that at least one data packet was not received, send a retry request to the first source, wherein the retry request includes an overhead bandwidth factor.
