IPTV stands for internet protocol television and uses the technology that delivers live television programs over the internet instead of antennas, satellite dishes, or fiber-optic cables. In other words, IPTV streams video content in real time over the internet.
Although IPTV content delivery differs from online video-sharing platforms like YouTube or OTT services like Netflix, it shares many of their conveniences. For instance, IPTV allows users to access video on demand (VOD) content on a subscription-based model and watch live broadcasts. That gives viewers the freedom of accessing their favorite shows at will while still having the option of enjoying live events and programs like on traditional TV.
This flexibility is why IPTV outshines traditional television and is considered the future of TV.
