Set-top box - IPTV receiver
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).

overburdening Internet trunking to the POP,

television,[http://www.tvgenius.net/b

which permits a customer to browse

Technically, when the customer

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.

For residential users, IPTV is often

Internet services such as Internet access
