1. A method of scaling a user interface, the method comprising:

  • streaming media content over a first channel of a network to a networked device;

    sending the user interface over a second channel of the network to the networked device, the first channel of the network being different from the second channel of the network, the user interface and media content being sent over the first channel and the second channel simultaneously;

    detecting a performance limitation of at least one of the network and the networked device; and

    in response to detecting the performance limitation;

    determining if a user interface state is active or inactive;

    if the user interface state is active, then transrating the media content while maintaining current user interface parameters; and

    if the user interface state is inactive, then scaling a parameter of the user interface while maintaining a current media bit rate.
