The requirement currently reads:
"There SHALL be a mechanism to stream TV's content to HTML player in set-top box."

I had originally interpreted "TV's content" to really be TV content (i.e. broadcast content), but in retrospect I am not sure if that is the correct interpretation.  What was "TV's content" intended to cover?


My opinion is that TV Content != broadcast. It could be:
- a broadcast emitted content
- a broadband emitted content (over broadcast such as DVB-IPI, or a multicast ip stream)
- a local content (PVR, ...)
- a local network content (accessed through DLNA, airplay, miracast, dial... or other local network streaming protocol).

My apologies if this issue has been addressed before.
