Dear all, Just for your information. DAVIC currently works on what they call "TV Anytime" and "TV Anywhere". The objective of "TV Anytime" is to specify download of broadcast programs to a Set Top Box with local storage capabilities for play back at a later time. Download should be possible over (MPEG-2 TS based) Broadcast and over IP. The objective of "TV Anywhere" is to specify real-time delivery of broadcast services over IP (e.g. to enable that you can even to watch your favourite program abroad). DAVIC decided already to use MPEG-4 audio and video as the content format for those services, but the transport format is still subject to discussion. I hope this clarifies a bit. Kind regards, Jan van der Meer
