Abstract
A method for initiating a transmission of a program stream for delivery from a local access point to a client device, said program stream being structured as a plurality of regular segments relating to a single event. This method comprises the steps of: (a) processing at least one of the regular segments into a set of particular segments, where the at least one regular segment carries a payload of a first playback duration and the payload of said set represents a second playback duration that is greater than that of the first playback duration, and where the second playback duration is sufficient to comply with a client device requirement for initiating a rendering of the event, and (b) transmitting, during an initial period, from the local access point said set of particular segments.
