Also called: Internet Protocol Television.
With IPTV, live channels and on-demand videos travel as data over the same broadband line you use for everything else. A player app or set-top box receives the streams and shows them on your screen, together with a channel list and an on-screen TV guide.
Because it only needs an internet connection, one IPTV subscription can work on many kinds of device — Smart TVs, streaming sticks, Android boxes, phones, tablets and computers — without an installation visit or a fixed box under the TV.
IPTV picture quality depends on two things: the service’s servers, and the speed and stability of your home connection. That is why most providers, and most buying guides, recommend testing a service with a free trial at peak time before paying.
