Meaning of IPTV

The acronym is everywhere, but what does it actually stand for? Let's break down the meaning of IPTV and why it's replacing traditional cable.

Understanding the Meaning of IPTV

IPTV stands for Internet Protocol Television. The meaning of IPTV simply refers to the delivery of television content over IP networks (the internet) instead of traditional terrestrial, satellite, or cable formats. Instead of a broadcast signal being pushed via a coax cable, the video data is streamed continuously over your Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. To translate this internet data back into a television format, you use an application. IBO Player Pro is our highest recommended app because it processes this IP data incredibly fast.
