What is iptv?
IPTV, or Internet Protocol Television, is a digital TV broadcasting technology that delivers television content over the internet, unlike traditional methods through satellite or cable.
It allows users to stream media on demand or watch live broadcasts, offering features like time-shifted media for replaying broadcasts or starting shows from the beginning.
