1. A method of providing content and data to a receiver, comprising:
at least one of:
broadcasting via satellite content and data to a receiver; and
sending via an IP based communications network content and data to the receiver,
wherein:
the content and data provided over the Satellite broadcast enables capabilities of the receiver needed to consume content received by IP delivery, and
the content and data provided via IP delivery enables capabilities of the receiver needed to consume content received from the satellite broadcast,
wherein the receiver is a combined receiver arranged to (i) receive and process content and data delivered via a satellite broadcast and (ii) both receive and send data over said IP based communications network;
wherein the selected delivery path to the receiver is such so as to at least one of: optimize a user of the receiver's experience, and minimize costs associated with providing receiver system and end user features relative to delivery of such content over only a satellite or only an IP delivery system.
