IPTV stands for Internet Protocol Television which is simply the delivery of TV content over the internet. It is different from the common channels where the same content is delivered using  KWS satellite, cable and terrestrial formats. IPTV offers users the ability to stream continuously and they can start playing any content instantly. It is a process referred to as streaming media. It is however important to note that IPTV is not limited to internet streaming only; it is also deployed in telecommunication networks that are subscriber based via set-top boxes for end users. It is also used to deliver media in private and corporate networks.
