In recent years, IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) has revolutionized the way we watch television, offering a vast range of content accessible via the internet. But what exactly is IPTV and how does it work? In this article we will explain everything you need to know about this technology, its advantages and how to use it.
What is IPTV?
IPTV is a system that allows television signals to be transmitted over the internet instead of traditional cable or satellite methods. Thanks to this technology, users can access on-demand content, live streaming and television channels directly on their devices, such as smart TVs, smartphones, tablets and PCs.
IPTVs are divided into three main categories:
1. Live TV: Live broadcasts, such as sporting events and news.
2. Video on Demand (VOD): films, TV series and other content available on demand.
3. Time-Shifted TV: allows you to review programs that have already aired.
How does IPTV work?
IPTV uses internet protocols to transmit content. Here’s how it works:
1. Internet Connection: A stable connection is essential to ensure smooth viewing.
2. IPTV server: contents are hosted on dedicated servers that distribute the signal to users.
3. Playback Device: smart TV, IPTV decoder, or specific apps on mobile devices.
