The basic services include receiving linear TV services and video-on-demand services, with additional data content (such as text) using a managed content delivery network. The IPTV TD full-fledged model supports advanced services such as Internet services, medical applications, communication services, etc.

The expected types of IPTV terminal devices are set-top boxes and digital TV sets with embedded IPTV capabilities.
