Humm... I just made some tests and this ICAM thing is nothing like an IPTV variation.
We can even not having any LNB connected or the dish pointed to ASTRA that as long we have internet for our share provider this works and we get picture on the channels working for the day/moment.
The difference is here we need decoding and we have all the possibilities on top of the streaming like change language audio and so on as IPTV cames allways decoded and as fixed video/audio stream.
I do not agree, I have icam sly de provider(pay). And I can change language on movies channels. Also all channels are 1920x1080 ( except some garbage, like Heimatkanal) . Moreover I can see Nd green decoding icon. Not sure how is it working, but for me picture quality is much better than usual IPTV.
For me works like normal cs, except longer channel switching.
That's exactly what I said that with this ICAM the streaming has all the functions a normal SAT receiving tuned in broadcast and IPTV not.
But for using this ICAM you don't even need an LNB or dish, just an internet connection and a good provider for the keys.
