My company provides an IPTV service with 110 English channels.

I will soon have a pure IPTV box so you dont need to stream to computers first.

But what type of English content are you after?

my msn is jimedstein@hotmail.com and skype blackcrusader

Free tests of the streaming are available.

How much does it cost to install ? Does it go month to month? Do the charges vary by the packet ? When do you plan on selling IPTV boxes? I dont want to turn on my comp to watch TV....

The monthly costs wont change. However we need to first get thru some testing with the new IPTV boxes to ensure reliabbilty and I get a batch from the factory next week.

Right now we have the Austrlia Network dish, DSTV Multichoice Africa and the Truevisions Thailand as a single package. We also plan to add add some ore sports channels and that will happen later this month.

The HAVA streaming we do works very well and custmers are happy with that. Many of our customers travel so they prefer to be able to strem teir content to their laptops so that when travelling they can watch their content anywhere.

The PTV systems will mean watching at the location where the IPTV box can be conencted to ADSL and connected to a TV.

It is all in this thread. The HAVA will still be retained as some people prefer the streaming system so thy can watch when they travel.

A list of the English channels also provided

So - It's been a week, are these iptv boxes testing properly? Do they have DVR ability? Also, you mention that you need an ADSL connection, why do you mention ADSL specifically, can it not be any other type of internet connection (PPPoE)?

trials not yet finished.

However the HAVA now has full remote recordings and hava software can burn any recording to a DVD. Sling snfortunately do not allow full recodings only short clips.
