A method for initiating a transmission of a program stream (13) for delivery from a local access point (40) to a client device (50), said program stream (13) being structured as a plurality of regular segments (3) relating to a single event. This method comprises the steps of: (a) processing at least one of the regular segments (3) into a set (4) of particular segments (5), where the at least one regular segment (3) carries a payload of a first playback duration (T1) and the payload of said set (4) represents a second playback duration (T2) that is greater than that of the first playback duration (T1), and where the second playback duration (T2) is sufficient to comply with a client device requirement for initiating a rendering of the event, and (b) transmitting, during an initial period, from the local access point (40) said set (4) of particular segments (5). |
