Recommendation ITU-T H.770 describes the mechanisms for service provider discovery, service discovery and selection for IPTV services. The mechanisms enable IPTV terminal devices to provide the end-users with effective ways to discover and select IPTV services. The expected types of IPTV services using service discovery information include linear TV and video-on-demand, etc.

This Recommendation identifies service discovery metadata elements and attributes providing information concerning service providers and contents/services, and its delivery protocols covering both unicast and multicast transport mechanisms.
