This paper addresses the main two types of video delivery networks deployed into digital television services throughout the years. Underlying and Overlay networks are described in order to introduce how the physical infrastructure and network architecture impacted on the modeling of the latest video content delivery schemes. The convergence of different video delivery networks, in a technical sense, is a real thing and may disrupt the broadcasting industry in the long-term.
