What is IPTV?

IPTV is a modern digital television technology that allows you to transmit a television signal using the Internet. Ease of setup and ease of use are the main advantages of this type of TV.

 

How is IPTV different from cable TV?

 

The difference on the technical side is that the signal transmission for cable television (CableTV) occurs over a separate wire, while the IPTV signal is fed through the Internet and is completely dependent on it (both wire and Wi-Fi).

To connect to IPTV, you need to install a set-top box for older TV models and for those that do not support the Smart TV function. If there is iptv support on the TV, you can watch TV channels without additional equipment.

 

Advantages and disadvantages of IPTV

 

As mentioned above, iptv technology is a modern replacement for outdated cable television. By connecting to the Internet, you can immediately purchase a combined package that will include digital television.

 

The main advantages of IPTV technology:

 

- image in HD format;

- you can use up to 5 devices (three can function simultaneously);

- interactive TV guide (you can set the order of channels, add them to your “Favorites”);

- the ability to pause the broadcast or rewind your favorite moments.

 

A few disadvantages of IPTV:

 

- in the absence of the Internet, the iptv network will not work either;

- in case there is only a composite input on the TV - you need to additionally purchase equipment for receiving and processing the signal.

Please note that we recommend connecting IPTV to your TV via cable. So you can get full speed so that the TV works “without brakes”. The router distributes one signal to all connected devices, thereby dividing the speed between them.
