Abstract
A system for recovering channel bonded program streams may include filters and a collator. The filters may be configured to receive data streams that include multiple chunks of transport stream packets, and marker information items that are indicative of boundaries of the chunks, over multiple bonded channels, and to individually filter the data streams based at least on a utilized program identifier. The collator may be configured to collate the filtered data streams based at least on the marker information items to recover a program stream corresponding to the utilized program identifier. In one or more implementations, the filters may replace, or augment, the marker information items with marker packets that include a program identifier that is not being used for transmitted programs and/or that is reserved for marker packets. The collator may collate the filtered data streams based at least on the marker packets.
