Television has gone far beyond traditional cable and satellite systems. Today, millions of users watch TV over the internet using IPTV. But how does IPTV actually work, and how is it different from traditional television? In this guide, we explain IPTV technology in a simple and clear way.
What Is IPTV?
IPTV is short for Internet Protocol Television. Instead of transmitting TV signals via satellite or cable, IPTV uses an internet connection to deliver television content. This allows users to watch live TV channels, movies and series on demand, as well as previously aired programs.
How Does IPTV Work?
IPTV works by sending television content as data over the internet. When a user selects a channel or video, the system delivers only that specific content, rather than broadcasting all channels at the same time.
The basic IPTV process includes:
- Collecting TV signals or video content
- Encoding and compression
- Distribution through servers
- Displaying content on the user’s device in real time
This method makes IPTV more efficient and flexible.
Types of IPTV Services :
There are three main types of IPTV:
1. Live IPTV
Watching TV channels in real time, similar to traditional television.
2. Video on Demand (VOD)
Movies and series available at any time.
3. Catch-Up TV
Watching shows that have already been broadcast.
