Abstract
The disclosed embodiments relate to a system and method for delivering satellite services at multiple security levels. More specifically, there is provided a method comprising determining a level of security supported by a first set top box, encoding a first IP packet containing a satellite service using the level of security supported by the first set top box, transmitting the first IP encoded packet to the first set top box, determining a level of security supported by a second set top box, wherein the level of security supported by the second set top box is different from the level of security of the first set top box, encoding a second IP packet containing a satellite service using the level of security supported by the second set top box; and transmitting the second encoded IP packet to the second set top box.
