1. A receiver for receiving content, comprising:
- a satellite path protection (“
SPP”
) monitor, the SPP monitor comprising;
a memory; and
a processor configured to;
monitor the content from a satellite signal,detect signal faults in the satellite signal; and
detect whether the signal faults have ended,a client software module configured to receive a signal from the SPP monitor to switch from the satellite signal to a terrestrial path when signal faults are detected in the satellite signal; and
a SPP client, the SPP client comprising;
a memory; and
a processor configured to;
receive the content from the terrestrial path, andswitch back to the satellite signal.
