I'm not sure about what you're actually talking. Do you want VDR to act 
as IPTV receiver, do you want VDR to act as a relay from classic digital 
TV to IPTV boxes, do you want some IPTV box with VDR as software, or do 
you want to use a IPTV box as VDR remote front end?

As for receiving multicast, this is possible with streamplayer plugin. 
Transmitting could be done with VLC and streamdev - or even with VLC alone.

I'm not sure what this is supposed to be.
