Yes, you are absolutely right. Our company ( http://www.itonis.tv ) is
working on its own VoD platform. Because we believe, that RSTP/RTP
streaming is the right approach how to deliver data to STBs, we have
developed RTSP implementation with RTP over TCP transport for Kreatel
boxes.

RTSP is not typically used for multicast set-up, but they are using it
for unicast pretty frequently. What they have is very minimalistic RTSP,
which is able to set-up only one channel, where MPEG2-TS is expected.

Yes :) Kreatel with our RTSP elements inside. 

Our company believes in OSS, and we are subvencing comunity (mainly
GStreamer so far). But we are not able to release RTSP element under
free licence because of colision with Kreatel licencing policy.

  Cheers,
