What is IPTV?

The term “IPTV” includes live television, Video on Demand or VoD, Game on Demand, GoD or Cloud Gaming and catch-up TV.

IPTV uses the same infrastructure as Internet access, but with reserved bandwidth. In France, IPTV is often provided with the broadband Internet subscription offer. The suppliers speak of a triple-play offer (Internet, telephony, television). IPTV can also be deployed in private communities, in fact, this allows a hotelier, hospital, or vacation home to be able to offer a bouquet of IPTV channels as well as a range of billable and on-demand services, the establishment offering this network is considered as a telecom operator.

Now concretely what is IPTV?

If some telecom operators offer IPTV services as part of triple-play offers, that is to say telephony, internet and television, this type of offer represents in reality only a limited percentage of what the IPTV is known. Indeed, most IPTV providers are known for the (not legal) side of this service. This is a TV channel streaming service, for the most part paid, based on a principle of sharing official subscriptions. In reality, as for the principle of “Card-sharing” better known as “CCcam, Ncam, OScam …”, IPTV is based on the purchase of official subscriptions from approved suppliers and sharing the flow images concerning these channels via the internet.

What are the benefits of IPTV?

The main advantage that users of IPTV services derive from this technology is obviously in the financial aspect.It is difficult and very expensive for an average user to combine several paid subscriptions for different offers.

Cinema, sport, culture, entertainment, series … Yes, the needs of each end user are different and diversified. Especially since there is no official supplier capable of transmitting international sports competitions, the latest films, the latest broadcasts, in several languages ​​with such low prices.

Then come the IPTV servers who act behind the scenes to guarantee multiple and diversified offers around the world with annual subscriptions whose prices sometimes do not even exceed the budget of a restaurant dish.

What future for IPTV?

IPTV will live, as long as the internet exists …

It should also be noted that this sharing of images via the internet is considered as a kind of piracy by several countries.
