IPTV stands for Internet Protocol Television. Instead of receiving channels through a satellite dish or cable line, the video is delivered over your regular internet connection.
When you open a channel, your player app requests the stream from a server. The server sends the video in small chunks that your device buffers and plays back in sequence, which is why a steady connection matters more than raw speed.
Most IPTV services offer three kinds of content: live channels that follow a broadcast schedule, video on demand (VOD) such as movies and series you can start whenever you want, and an electronic program guide (EPG) that shows what is on.
To get started you only need a compatible device, a player app and the login details from your provider. Setup typically takes just a few minutes.
