I think it would be great if you could beef up the security
considerations section (of all the types in both your 
registrations).
Firewall admins and others will look to this registration to decide
whether they should let this content into their network, and so 
having
something there that gave them confidence to do so would, I expect,
benefit those deploying both IPTV software and content.

A very minor point, but "_" isn't a commonly used character in 
subtype
names.  In fact, I couldn't find a single registered type which used
it.  You should probably be fine because it's not a special 
character,
but if it's not too late you might consider switching to "-".

Mark.
