[iptv-users] STB/video stream monitoring

[Frank Bulk]

When you have this finger-pointing, what does the problem actually end up
being?  The vast majority of our video quality issues relate to the copper
plant.  Only a minority have been related our transport gear's ability to
drop the content off the DSL port.

Take a look at Ineoquest's iVMS (for transport quality monitoring) and  
iCMS (for video/audio content quality and end-user experience  
monitoring).  We use both of these products, and they can be both a  
lifesaver and a "finger-pointing" resolver.
