I've had some experience doing IPTV stuff both with incumbent MVPDs and as part of an OTT play. I'll warn you, in case you don't know, that these kinds of deals take a LONG time (think 2-4 years) and if you are looking for content rights expect significant upfront cash payments if you can even get them. HBO for instance is/was part of a conglomerate that also owned a cable company and like everyone else in the space is very sensitive about anything that will increase risk (even marginally) for their multi-billion dollar cable deals. I'm not trying to discourage you, just pointing out that there are huge obstacles in the space that have nothing to do with technology.
