The document describes a set-top box called SuiteTV that provides an IPTV solution for sports stadium suites. SuiteTV uses open source software and hardware to display live video feeds, access interactive applications and websites, and provide a simple wireless remote control interface. It was designed and built by students at Georgia Tech to update technology in football stadium suites in a low-cost, sustainable way. The SuiteTV provides HD video streaming, wireless remote access, and integrates websites and applications through a Linux-based media player interface.
