Management of the transmission of data streams over multiple networks

Equipment for managing the transmission of data streams from a content server to a plurality of receivers, the transmission of each data stream to each receiver being possible over at least one broadcast network made up of several transport streams and over a broadband network, said equipment comprising a reorganizer for reorganizing the data streams on the transport streams to ensure that more receivers receive data streams over the broadcast network after said reorganization, wherein the reorganizer comprises a reallocation module for reallocating at least one data stream to a transport stream in function of the number of receivers interested in receiving said data stream and/or of the data stream's bandwidth.

Receiver able to receive data streams from a content server over at least one broadcast network and a broadband network, said receiver further comprising:

• a first module for receiving from an equipment a message indicating that a data stream being received by said receiver will be moved from a first to a second transport stream over a first network;
• and
• a second module for transmitting a request to receive said data stream over a second network.
