There really isn't a good way to do this - especially not in a way 
that's standardized.  (Using RTP, Program Stream data is usually sent 
as two separate RTP streams - one for video, the other for audio.)

Because you can tolerate packet delay, but not packet loss, you 
should just transfer your Program Stream data using TCP rather than 
RTP.  I.e. just use "scp" or "ftp" - i.e., not using our software.
