hello i’m using wowza for live broadcasting on multiple servers - my new client is bringing multiple channels streams - and is planning to launch it’s own set-top box for IPTV solution. the manufacturing company is asking me to tell which middleware i want on the box and with which headend software will be between wowza and STB. My final target will be to provide “something” on server side, which the STB will connect and will know which are different channels available - and will play the selected stream ( each channel will have it’s own stream ) - I’m searching for that “something” … I’ve no experience on these softs - some suggestions of softwares ? ---

You can stream to most STBs with rtsp output from Wowza, and some support Cupertino. All you need is Wowza on the server-side. Richard ---

Talking to Wowza Sales would be a good idea in any case, but you can go ahead and post in the [Showcase forum](http://community.wowza.com/c/-/10). I assume there is a Wowza integration involved. Richard ---
