Abstract

Methods and systems for multi-path video and network channels may comprise a communication device comprising a wideband path (WB) and a narrowband path (NB), wherein the WB may be operable to receive a plurality of channels and the NB may be operable to receive a single channel. Video channels and a network channel may be received in the WB when the device is operating in a first stage. Video channels and a network channel may be received in the WB and the network channel may also be received in the NB when the device is operating in a second stage. The network channel may be received in the NB when the device is operating in a third stage. The reception of the network channel from both the WB and the NB may enable a continuous reception of the network channel in a transition between the first and third stages.
