So what's the latest with this?
We essentially have an IPTV headend running in the shop. It's nice being
able to sit in my office and work on the computer, while watching TV
streamed over the LAN.
But that doesn't make much money.
At the UBNT AirMax conference they said they're doing IPTV over
To this day I've heard of countless people that do it to compete (the triple
bundle) but none that make any money.
6mbps multicast...per active channel.
Usually it happens in such a way that if someone starts watching a channels

Probably would not be profitable for us, either, in all actuality.
We'd like to just offer some basic channels. Maybe 30 or 40. For those
people who really just want basic TV

carry all their other stupid channels.

I seem to remember the low-end ones were around $130/ea. Not sure about the
others. Price will vary based on where you buy and in what quantity I
assume.
Remembered that standard 802.11 will only multicast at around 1Mbps. So
that's why we were having the problem with the multicast over AirMax
You can change the multicast rate on the non airmax units. Mine are enroute so
have not tried with the airmax gear.
I have not heard back about the units.
At 130 ea, a Roku with the same features as the low end unit, will be more cost
effective. I am still researching about the licensing
