Uhm, D-CATV is not IP just quite yet. Sometimes I wish that's the case, but it's still very much RF.
There are several vendors that sell GPON solutions that support RF over fiber, and there's always IP TV.
Hmm. I had acquired the idea, from looking at the setup screens on the latest gen SciAt converters that it was, at very least, FDM IP multicast; that is, MPEG2 over IP multicast, and then multiplexed 4:1 or so into multiple broadband carriers, but sent as IP multicast streams and decoded that way. No? Cheers, -- jra
