I personally think multicast video will be relegated to the same place that ISDN and the Newton resides.

It more or less has to be fiber. ------ Original Message ------ From: "CBB - Jay Fuller" <par...@cyberbroadband.net> To: af@afmug.com Sent: 12/18/2017 2:42:54 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Rodeo networks IPTV Lots of chatter about Rodeo on the WISPA lists off and on. I think it uses multicast vs. individual streams like Real Choice does. From the chatter I've read over the last few months no wisp yet has it running successfully. ----- Original Message ----- From: Chuck McCown To: af@afmug.com Sent: Monday, December 18, 2017 1:16 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Rodeo networks IPTV No. Never heard of them. I would go with Real Choice if I was going to do IPTV. But there are an ever increasing numbers of OTT with good programming, I don’t think IPTV can be a profit center. DirectvNow, Sony VUE, SlingTV, Youtube Channel, FUBO. Even Pluto is great and it is totally free.

If so would you be willing to discuss (either on-list or off-list) your experience. Thanks! -Sean
