Abstract: Broadcast programs, e.g., for an audio information program,
are divided into one or more segments and are broadcast to a
receiver in packet format. The receiver captures the transmitted
packets and reassembles the segments and the program for storage
and subsequent output to the user. Segment quality of service is
evaluated prior to output by ensuring that a minimum percent of
packets per segment are usable, and by ensuring that no more than
a maximum number of consecutive packets in the segment are
unusable. Program quality of service is evaluated by ensuring
that a minimum percent of segments per program are usable, and by

quality of service parameters are specified for particular
programs. New quality of service parameters for particular
programs are transmitted to the receiver.
