IPTV simply means Internet Protocol television. As the name clearly shows, it is the delivery of television programs with internet signals instead of a sattelite dish or antenna. It is television via internet protocol.

Streaming involves making a web interface capable of simultaneous downloading and playing contents on a user's device.

The IPTV operators facilitates profits by encoding these contents so that those user that pay have access to them. The free IPTV operators on the other hand make their huge amount of money by placing programmed advertisements for millions of users.

IPTV is very simple instead of receiving TV programs as broadcast signals that enter your home from a rooftop antenna, satellite dish, or fiber-optic cable, you get them streamed (downloaded and played almost simultaneously) through your Internet connection.

Why should someone you've never met decide what you can watch on TV and when you can watch it? True, there's always a choice of channels, but the selection is still quite limited and unless you record programs in advance, you can only watch them when they're broadcast.

Wouldn't it be better if watching TV were more like browsing the Web, so you could pick the program you wanted to watch whenever and wherever you felt like watching it? That's one of the promises of IPTV (Internet Protocol Television), which uses Internet technology to deliver TV programs "on demand."
