1. A method of transmitting a data stream, comprising the steps of:

  • inverse multiplexing the data stream into a first component data stream and a second component data stream;

    providing the first component data stream to a first transponder and providing the second component data stream to a second transponder; and

    wherein the step of inverse multiplexing the data steam into a first component data stream and a second component data steam further comprises the steps ofdetermining an available transmission capacity of the first transponder and an available transmission capacity of the second transponder;

    designating a first contiguous portion of the data steam as a member of the first component data stream according to the available transmission capacity of the first transponder; and

    designating a second contiguous portion of the data stream temporally adjacent the first contiguous portion of the data steam as a member of the second component data stream according to the available transmission capacity of the second transponder.
