IPTV installation in a Hotel

[axl_logic]

Hi Guys,

Can you guide me how to install and setup an IPTV in a hotel using a satellite dish reciever as a source of TV channels. What equipment do I use at the headend server?

Dish(es).
Receivers (possibly 1 per channel offering)
Streaming encoders (same)
Control, multiplexing, switching, overlay, original content injection
IP media server(s), # depending upon bandwidth needs (mirrored clusters?)
Very broadband wired infrastructure to last mile port or WAPs (multiple per floor).
Multi-cast capable managed routers with QoS policies.
"Re-broadcast" licensing with major providers
Tons and tons of cabling. Racks. HVAC cooling.

Just to name a few things...

Suggestion: go back to square one and define exactly what you want to provide, in what manner, to how many people simultaneously, and have a budget and an implementation timeline. Ultimately, you will likely find that you need to hire an AV integrator to install & setup this for you.
