Set-top box - IPTV receiver

1 In IPTV networks, the set-top box is a small computer providing two-way communications

on an IP network and decoding the video streaming media. IP set-top boxes have a

built-in home network interface that can be Ethernet or one of the existing wire home

networking technologies such as HomePNA or the ITU-T G.hn standard, which provides a way to create a high-speed (up to 1Gbit/s)

local area network using existing home wiring (power lines, phone lines, and coaxial cables).

Set-top box - IPTV receiver

1 In the US and Europe, telephone companies use IPTV (often on ADSL

or optical fiber networks) as a means to compete with traditional local

cable television monopolies.

Telecommunications in Russia - IPTV

1 The IPTV developing fast as a cheap alternative to regular television. On July 2011 Rostelecom started a plan to unify IPTV services in Russia's regions offering standard features such as linear and on-demand TV along with new interactive

and OTT services provided by the operator to various mobile devices. For this Russian company SmartLabs was

chosen.

G.hn - IPTV Home Networks

1 One of the problems faced by most providers of IPTV services is that in many

customers' homes the Residential gateway that provides connectivity with

the Broadband access network is not located in close proximity to the IPTV

Set-top box. This scenario becomes very common as service providers start to

offer service packages with multiple Set-Top Boxes per subscriber.

https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

G.hn - IPTV Home Networks

1 Because G.hn supports any kind of home wiring, end users will often be able to install the IPTV home network

by themselves, thus reducing the cost to the service provider.

Internet Protocol Television - Hybrid IPTV

1 Hybrid IPTV refers to the combination of traditional broadcast TV services

and video delivered over either managed IP networks or the public Internet. It is an increasing trend in

both the consumer and pay TV [operator]

markets.[http://www.mrgco.com/press_releases.html#hstb09 ]

Internet Protocol Television - Hybrid IPTV

1 Hybrid IPTV has grown in popularity in recent years as a result of two major drivers

https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

Internet Protocol Television - Hybrid IPTV

1 A hybrid set-top allows content from a range of sources, including Terrestrial

television|terrestrial broadcast, satellite, and cable, to be brought together with video delivered over the Internet via an Ethernet connection on the device. This enables television viewers to access a greater variety of content on their TV

sets, without the need for a separate box for each service.

https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

Internet Protocol Television - Hybrid IPTV

1 Hybrid IPTV set-top boxes also enable users to access a range of advanced interactive services, such as Video on demand|VOD / catch-up TV, as well as Internet applications, including

video telephony, surveillance, gaming, shopping, e-government

accessed via a television set.

https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

Internet Protocol Television - Hybrid IPTV

1 From a pay-TV operator’s perspective, a hybrid IPTV set-top box gives them greater long-term

flexibility by enabling them to deploy new services and applications as and when

consumers require, most often without the need to upgrade equipment or for an engineer to visit

and reconfigure or swap out the device. This minimises the cost of launching new services,

increases speed to market and limits disruption for

consumers.[http://www.v-net.tv/Webcast.aspx?id=5 ]

Internet Protocol Television - Hybrid IPTV

1 The first commercially available hybrid IPTV set-top box was

developed by Advanced Digital Broadcast, a developer of digital

television hardware and software, in 2005

Internet Protocol Television - Hybrid IPTV

1 An alternative approach is the IPTV version of the Headend in the Sky

cable TV solution. Here, multiple TV channels are distributed via satellite to the ISP or IPTV provider’s point of presence (POP) for IP-encapsulated distribution to individual subscribers

as required by each subscriber.

https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

Internet Protocol Television - Hybrid IPTV

1 This can provide a huge selection of channels to subscribers without

overburdening Internet trunking to the POP, and enables an IPTV service to be offered to small or remote operators outside the reach

of terrestrial high speed broadband connection. An example is a network

combining fibre and satellite distribution via an SES New Skies satellite of 95 channels to Latin America and the Caribbean, operated

by IPTV Americas.https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

IPTV

1 'Internet Protocol television' ('IPTV') is a system through which television

services are delivered using the Internet protocol suite over a packet-

switched network such as the Internet, instead of being delivered

through traditional Terrestrial television|terrestrial, Satellite

television|satellite signal, and cable television|cable television formats.

https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

IPTV

1 IPTV services may be classified into three

main groups:

https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

IPTV

1 * live television, with or without interactivity related to the current TV show;

https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

IPTV

1 * Time shifting|time-shifted television: catch-up TV (replays a TV

show that was broadcast hours or days ago), start-over TV (replays the current TV show from its beginning);

https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

IPTV

1 IPTV is distinguished from Internet television by its on-going

standardization process (e.g., European Telecommunications

Standards Institute) and preferential deployment scenarios in subscriber-based telecommunications networks with high-speed access channels into end-user premises via set-top boxes

or other customer-premises equipment.

https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

IPTV - Promise

1 The technology was hindered by low broadband penetration and by the

relatively high cost of installing wiring capable of transporting IPTV content

reliably in the customer's home. However, residential IPTV was expected to grow as broadband was available to more than

200 million households worldwide in 2005.[http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?

id=501276 Gartner - 2007 Press releases]

https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

IPTV - Promise

1 In December 2009, the FCC began looking into using set-top boxes to make TVs with

Multichannel video programming distributor|cable or similar services into network video players. FCC Media Bureau Chief Bill Lake had said earlier that TV and the Internet

would soon be the same, but only 75 percent of homes had computers, while 99 percent had TV. A 2009 Nielsen Company|Nielsen survey found 99 percent of video viewing

was done on TV.

IPTV - Elements

1 * TV head-end: where live TV channels are encoded, encrypted and delivered in the form of IP multicast

streams.

https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

1 * VOD platform: where on-demand video assets are stored and served when a user makes a request in the

form of IP unicast stream.

IPTV - Elements

1 * Home gateway: the piece of equipment at the user's home that terminates the access link from the

delivery network.

IPTV - Advantages

1 The Internet protocol-based platform offers significant advantages,

including the ability to integrate television with other IP-based

services like high speed Internet access and VoIP.

https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

IPTV - Advantages

1 A switched IP network also allows for the delivery of significantly more content and

functionality

https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

IPTV - Video-on-demand

1 IPTV technology is bringing video-on-demand (VoD) to

television,[http://www.tvgenius.net/blog/2010/04/06/broadband-users-control-watch/

Broadband Users Control What They Watch and When] which permits a customer to

browse an online program or film catalog, to watch trailers and to then select a selected recording. The playout of the selected item

starts nearly instantaneously on the customer's TV or PC.

https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

IPTV - Video-on-demand

1 Technically, when the customer selects the movie, a Point-to-Point

Protocol|point-to-point unicast connection is set up between the

customer's decoder (set-top box or PC) and the delivering streaming server. The signalling for the trick play functionality (pause, slow-

motion, wind/rewind etc.) is assured by RTSP (Real Time Streaming

Protocol).https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

IPTV - Video-on-demand

1 In an attempt to avoid content piracy, the VoD content is usually encrypted. Whilst encryption of

satellite and cable TV broadcasts is an old practice, with IPTV technology it can effectively be thought of as a

form of Digital rights management. A film that is chosen, for example, may

be playable for 24 hours following payment, after which time it

becomes unavailable.https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

IPTV - Privacy implications

1 In conjunction with regulatory differences between IPTV and cable TV this tracking could pose a threat

to privacy according to critics.[http://www.cedmagazine.com/iptv-

privacy-risks.aspx IPTV privacy risks] For IP multicast scenarios, since a

particular multicast group (TV channel) needs to be requested

before it can be viewed, the same privacy concerns apply.

https://store.theartofservice.com/itil-2011-foundation-complete-certification-kit-fourth-edition-study-guide-ebook-and-online-course.html

IPTV - Service bundling

1 For residential users, IPTV is often provided in conjunction with video on demand and may be bundled with Internet services such as Internet access and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)

telecommunications services. Commercial bundling of IPTV, VoIP and Internet access is sometimes referred to in marketing as triple

play (telecommunications)|triple play service. When these three are offered with cellular

service, the combined service may be referred to as quadruple play.

Canal Digital - IPTV

1 An IPTV service was launched in Sweden in 2004. It offers most of

channels also provided on the Satellite Platform as well as

Interactive Television services and Video On Demand from C More

Select, C More On demand, Film-To-Home and SF Anytime.
