(STB), this box will connect to the home DSL line and is responsible for reassembling
the packets into a video stream and then decoding the contents. IPTV is typically
bundled with other services like Video on Demand (VOD), Voice Over IP (VOIP) or
digital Phone, and Web access. IPTV viewers will have full control over functionality
such as rewind, fast-forward, pause, and so on.
If you've ever watched a video clip on your computer, you've used an IPTV system in
its broadest sense. The video stream is broken up into IP packets and dumped into the
core network, which is a massive IP network that handles all sorts of other traffic (data,
voice, etc.). VOD (Video on Demand) service allows the user the luxury of watching
the movie of his / her choice at his / her convenience.

Difference between VOD on BB & VOD on DTH

In DTH, as it is broadcasting and not communication so the request for VOD has to be
registered through some other mean than the Set top Box say can be through phone call,
SMS or Internet and the same four to five movies are broadcasted and the viewers have
to choose among them only and at predefined timings.
In true VOD, as offered by BSNL, the set-top box behaves just like a DVD player and
viewer can select a movie from the boutique, view it at his / her desired time and day,
pause it, rewind it, forward it or can have the exactly same experience has viewing from
a personalized DVD player. This is only possible because of the two-way
communication between the set-top box and the server. In BSNL one has a choice of
selecting from hundreds of movies while VOD offered by DTH providers may have
only few movies to offer.

Set-top-Box

The set-top box is a smart solid-state device that acts as the gateway to a host of
services offered on the BSNL Multiplay network. On one side the set-top box interfaces
with the television using the 3-RCA or the S-Video ports, and on the other side it is
connected to broadband ADSL modem via the Ethernet port. BSNL franchisee in Pune
has named the set-top box as WICE Box (Window for Information, Communication and
Entertainment) and supports all sorts of inputs like audio, video, tablet data, text data,
pointer devices etc. it has a USB port and a microphone and headphone jack in addition
to essential ports. In future, it will be possible to connect keyboard, mouse, web cams,
pen-drives and other such devices for various applications that will be provided on the
box. The WICE box is fully upgradeable through the network. This means, any new
