[iptv-users] Open source IPTV bits

[Frank Bulk - iName.com]

If there's one thing I've learned about IPTV since getting into it, it's
that IP TV in the home is very different than the service provider space.  

One reason that open source isn't a starter, at least in North America, is
the requirement by content providers for conditional access.

I figure I should start another thread about this....


Here is a copy/paste from a mind map I have done.

Still figuring out IPTV infrastructure/architecture. Any good 
books/papers on this? The wikipedia page is pretty complete.


TvHeadEnd http://lonelycoder.com/hts/ seems fairly mature.
Toroid http://www.toroid.tv/ is fairly new.
Motama http://www.motama.com/ is a pretty mature project.



I recently read an article in light reading covering Cisco solutions.

and some interesting links to other tests they had done (like the CRS1).
