Hi Karim,Back in 2015, I had the privilege? nay, misfortune of working on a greenfield build-out which included a cable TV component that was implemented as a set-top streaming service.
We successfully negotiated retransmission rights with most major content providers.
I've found that going one's own way with software, hardware and architecture choices is pretty much impossible if you want to get certain companies on-board with your product, chiefly, companies like Vericom and Warner will expect you to comply with strict security requirements.
Which pretty much meant we were locked into the Verimatrix ecosystem from the beginning. There are other options available, but your choices are going to be limited by the content you choose to carry and nothing else.
Best, Daniel
