In all honesty, we have had alot of Finger Pointing that ended up being
bad feeds from the source, especially since we pick up alot of our
feeds from other Video/Cable Providers. But without a doubt, if you
have a video probe at your edge before you go to the Copper Plant, it
makes it very easy to point the finger at them and have the proof to
support it.<br>
<br>
We do also seem to have alot of issues, when we are doing >6-8G of
Multicast over some of the Cisco Cards we have deployed, so at times,
that does come back to bite us.<br>

<pre wrap="">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.

Subject: Re: [iptv-users] STB/video stream monitoring
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.

<pre wrap="">Is anyone doing any video stream error monitoring/checking from the
point-of-view of the STB? I know that there is at least one vendor
out
there, Psytechnics, that has a module it can integrate into the
middleware
of the STB, but I haven't see IPTV middleware vendors picking that
up. I
know that the Amino 110 writes out some rudimentary stats to the
drive.
We track most of our video problems based on the 15-minute PM bins
that our
transport gear's ADSL ports record, but nothing L4 and up.
Ideally every STB would have something Psytechnic-like built in.
