Abstract

A content distribution device sends control data or content data to a first content receiving device over a wireless communication channel in a first frequency band. The device also sends the content data to a second content receiving device via a wired communication channel or via a wireless communication channel in a second frequency band that is different from the first frequency band. The device detects a performance reduction of the wired communication channel or the wireless communication channel in the second frequency band. In response to the detection, the device starts to send the content data to the second content receiving device via the wireless communication channel in the first frequency band while sending of the control data or the content data to the first content receiving device.
