The service definition takes into consideration conditions on content delivery such as QoS. The expected types of IPTV terminal devices are set-top boxes and digital TV sets with embedded IPTV capabilities.Amendment 1 introduces new Appendix II, which describes implementation examples that support ITU-T H.721 terminal device specifications.
