Claim:
A method of streaming content over a network, comprising the steps of: producing a MPEG data service by encapsulating and packetizing HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) content into a MPEG private data Packet Identifier (PID); multiplexing compressed digital broadcast video content with the MPEG data service to produce a MPEG transport stream; and transmitting the MPEG transport stream over a Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) network to a subscriber; wherein the compressed digital broadcast video content of the MPEG transport stream is a MPEG-2 transport stream; and wherein the compressed digital broadcast video content is of a pre-determined broadcast TV program, and wherein the MPEG data service provided in the form of the MPEG private data PID of the MPEG transport stream is a transcoded version of the pre-determined broadcast TV program such that the HLS content is simultaneously delivered to the subscriber with the MPEG-2 pre-determined broadcast TV program.
