  • Abstract
    IPTV Set-top boxes rely on tamper proof hardware to cope with content protection but hampers enjoying an IPTV subscription in other devices. There are solutions that share the IPTV subscription using the home network but there is no approach to make the IPTV subscription portable. This article describes a solution to delegate IPTV rights to any STB using an inexpensive piece of hardware and the OAuth protocol.
