What is IPTV?      

IPTV refers to Internet-based Protocol Television where the Internet is used to deliver TV programs & Videos that are either live or on demand. So, in simple terms, we can say that IPTV is a system where digital television service is delivered to the subscriber through Internet protocol technology. You watch your TV shows via the Internet.

So, is it the same as video streaming apps like Netflix? No, there is a slight difference. 

IPTV is slightly different from digital video that is accessed by millions of users on sites or apps like YouTube or Netflix because it lets you watch live TV shows on different channels. So, it is not limited to one particular platform. 

But it has similarities too. It shares quite a bit of the same ubiquitous, pervasive nature. Also unlike standard cable or satellite connection, in IPTV multiple TV sets can use a single subscription within a home.

Also, it has many advantages over traditional TV. Like, an IPTV subscription gives the viewers the added advantage and convenience of being able to pick the program they want to watch whenever and wherever they feel like watching it. So, apart from tuning into any Live TV shows that are being aired currently, they can even watch the content that has been aired previously.
