How does IPTV work?
IPTV stands for "Internet Protocol TeleVision". Therefore, IPTV transmits its television signals over the Internet.
Satellite waves are used to transmit the various programs available on French TV channels on ordinary televisions. In IPTV, shows, films, series, etc., are transmitted via the Internet. As IPTV operates over the Internet, it is independent of terrestrial and satellite broadcasts.
A major advantage of using the Internet is the ability to pick and choose your programs, rather than being confined to the schedules and/or programs of the moment. Current television offers the same program to every household, and viewers have no control over what is shown.
People with Smart TVs at home, for example, are already using IPTV.
Different forms of IPTV
Therefore, IPTV can be accessed using an internet browser, a Smart TV, or an IPTV box, which is what interests us here.
IPTV can be divided into the following forms:
- Watch live TV: As this form is the most popular, you can watch French TV channels and their programs as they are broadcasted anywhere in the country.
- The VOD: On-demand video: the user chooses the program they wish to watch without any time constraints.
- Catch-up television: You can watch streaming programs over a defined period of time with this form of IPTV. For example, if you miss a live TV show, it will be available for 2 weeks.
