Abstract
A server receives a request for delivery of media from a client, and determines if the client has a capability to tune to a quadrature amplitude modulated (QAM) channel carried by a first network. The server sends a message to the client to instruct the client to tune to the QAM channel to receive the media via the first network if it is determined that the client has the capability to tune to the QAM channel. The server sends the media to the client if it is determined that the client does not have the capability to tune to the QAM channel.
