IPTV, or Internet Protocol Television, is a technology that delivers television content over an internet connection instead of traditional broadcast methods like satellite or cable.

In recent times, Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) has emerged as a popular alternative to traditional cable and satellite television services.

The IPTV offers greater flexibility and a wider range of options to the viewers. IPTV providers offer a diverse range of channels and content options, including live TV, video-on-demand (VOD), catch-up TV, and interactive features such as pause, rewind, and record.

IPTV delivers high-quality video streaming over broadband internet connections, providing viewers with crisp, clear images and smooth playback. (ANI)
