Abstract :
In this paper we describe an integrated system for delivering DVB and VoD streams to consumer terminals (STB+TV) over broadband IP networks. The system covers the servers necessary for DVB capture and delivery over IP, VoD servers, system management components and the user access to provided content. The described system was implemented at Tampere University of Technology. The performance, scalability and cost-effectiveness of the system make it suitable for consumer markets.
