One of these days I will have IPTV. Even if it will be only at my house. Just need to do a bit more research first.

I do not think you understand the IPTV concept. It is a scheduled TV service (like DStv) that gets streamed to all subscribers simultaneously via an IP network, instead of a satellite. It is not a video streaming service.

Actually, I do understand it perfectly. IPTV is the transmission of TV signal over IP. The only difference between what I want to do, will be that I will be my own IPTV provider and client.

So are you going to be multicast streaming multiple live channels to yourself?

What you want to do is normal video streaming... That is not IPTV.

hopefully benchmarks and ways to get reliable viewer stats before a similar saga to Internet Radio ...

Hopefully it will be reasonably priced and bundled with uncapped internet like in the UK and Latvia.

Yes and no. I want to stream multiple live channels to multiple devices in my home via my IP network. Do you really want to tell me this is not IPTV?

Yes, that is really what I want to tell you. IPTV is exactly like subscription Satellite or Cable TV, with live news, sport etc and VOD. It just has a different delivery system... Encrypted multicast streaming over a fast IP network, to STB's with smart cards in each home. It is not the streaming of your torrent collection and DStv to media players at all your screens.

So according to you streaming of DSTV and other stations over IP is NOT IPTV? So when is IPTV then IPTV?
