What is BS IEC 62766-8 – IPTV profiles about?
Internet Protocol television (IPTV) is the delivery of television content over internet protocol networks. BS EN 62766 series discusses consumer terminal function for access to IPTV and open internet multimedia services. The OPEN IPTV FORUM specifies the user-to-network interface (UNI) for consumer terminals to access IPTV and open internet multimedia services over managed or non-managed networks.

- The enhanced managed profile
These three profiles are heirarchical in the sense that the open internet profile is formed of a sub-set of the features of the baseline managed profile, and that the baseline managed profile is formed of a sub-set of the features of the enhanced managed profile.
