Hmmm.  TCL have been playing with IPTV for the last few years internally.

Strange that it's at ICONZ, particularly with the issues there have been 
historically with TCL/ICONZ and interconnects.  But if Ziln is a 3rd 
party (rather than just a branding name for TCL IPTV) that might explain 
it, although I would have thought that they would put the servers in a 
TCL data centre as part of the setup.
