We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "IPTV", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
Start with the news release Field tester adds faster fibre coverage from JDSU, which we summarised at the time by saying "Engineered to address the growing demands for installation and troubleshooting of Fibre Channel services in metro networks". A couple of weeks before, we featured the news release VDSL2 chipsets drive fibre to the remote from Ikanos Communications: "Chipsets are designed to deliver the highest throughput and density with the lowest power consumption per port".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Zilog concerning its Crimzon RC Blaster - take a look at Controller has universal appeal for IR remotes which says: "Universal infra-red remote control system can be easily integrated to any digital device to provide immediate remote control capability".
Take a look also at the news release from Horizon Semiconductors, Professional encoder spans broadcast markets, as well as Wi-Fi technology handles voice, video and data from Broadcom Corp, and Model defines remote management of digital TV from DSL Forum.
