1. A transmitter device for transmitting media packet streams on a data network to a receiver device, the transmitter device comprising:

  • a transmitter comprising one or more data interfaces to transmit a first media packet stream and a second media packet stream to the receiver device, the media streams containing one or more media channels;

    a processor to packetize the one or more media channels, based on a request from the receiver device, to create media packet streams for transmission from the data interfaces; and

    a controller to cause the processor to create two independent media packet streams to be transmitted to the receiver device, wherein one of the two independent media packet streams contains data corresponding to the packetized one or more media channels and the other of the two independent media packet streams contains a copy of the data corresponding to the packetized one or more media channels;

    wherein the packets in the two independent media streams include identifying information for causing data from corresponding packets from the two independent media streams to be written to the same buffer location.
