Abstract
A method, system, and medium are provided for delivering broadcast video content at varying levels of video quality. In particular, a source video stream is provided that is divided into two or more video substreams such that the video substreams include offset frames from the source video stream. The video substreams are modulated onto one or more air interface channels. Mobile devices may be configured to access only one of the video substreams to present video content at a lower frame rate or to access multiple video substreams to present video content at a higher frame rate.
