Re: A profile for TV

I agree that any profile work needs to target any device that can receive a service. TVs, mobile, PCs and TVs should all use the same spec.

The meaning of "TV" to me in the context of "TV Profile" refers to a profile capable of receiving a video (i.e. "TV") service, not the TV device. The "TV" term is, unfortunately, consistently confusing in this regard.

Thanks,
