An Internet Protocol content streaming apparatus comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive content via a secure communication channel from a remote access point that receives encoded content via a data feed from a content provider, the receiver configured to:
- receive the encoded content, and
- decode the encoded content to generate decoded content;
- and
- a display device communicatively coupled to the receiver and configured to:
- receive the decoded content from the receiver, and
- display the decoded content within an interface,
- wherein the receiver is specifically assigned to the remote access point with a one-to-one correspondence between the receiver and the data feed from the content provider,
- wherein the receiver is separate from the remote access point and connected to the remote access point via a network, and
- wherein the remote access point is individually addressable to maintain only the one-to-one correspondence between the receiver and the data feed from the content provider.
