This paper explores efforts to create 3rd party add-on components for a modern IPTV platform. Two scenarios are studied: creation of an IPTV component with two way communication to a 3rd party service and creation of a natural (motion) interaction interface for the IPTV platform. Extensibility offered by modern IPTV platforms is explored, as well as the challenges faced.
