Re: [tvcontrol-api] Abstract indicates IPTV is supported

It's not that simple...

What IP multicast really means in context of an IPTV service? An MPEG TS over raw UDP? MPEG TS Over RTP over UDP? 
What about DRM/CAS, and how to integrate it with W3C EME?
What about Fast Channel Change/Instant Channel Change techniques and retransmissons format? (RFCs 6285 and 4588)

About Unicast? What's unicast IPTV? RTSP? What about ABR formats? (i.e. DASH, HLS)? 

I think the IPTV case should be addressed as part of bigger discussion and not simply add types to the TVSourceType enum.
