It is a generic multiVC + QoS capable ATM based DSL loop, ADSL2+ I think.
The customer CPE unit directly terminates one VC (the high priority Video
VC), and passes the other through the PC port for a PPPOE speaker t
connect through.
The SetTop boxes are a generic multicast video client, they talk IP, and
sparse mode multicast. (With sparse mode there is a /discovery/ multicast
group that everyone receives a group list via, and the STB requests any
additional multicast streams as needed)
IIRC the units have SVideo + composit (RCA) + coax outputs.
Works as well as any basic IP/TV solution, though the standard sync rates
for the DSL loop prevent the delivery of HD content (480i/480p, OK -
720p/1080i/1080p require too much bandwidth).
