I'm in North America -- home of the super-narrow-cable-TV-silo market
where you have to buy/rent cable boxes from your cableco because
everything between them and the cableco is proprietary/encrypted/etc.,
to maximize the amount of blood the cablecos can extract.

So this idea of "open" IPTV is a bit foreign to me.

Just so I understand, these are unencrypted, unauthenticated IPTV
streams that anyone can fetch and watch?  I.e. given that you are
expecting MythTV to be able to watch/record, I assume given the venue
here.

If so, what's the business model?  Why are your TV networks being so
open?

Cheers,
b.
