•  Meaning of Internet Protocol television (IPTV):

Internet Protocol television (IPTV) is a framework through which TV administrations are conveyed utilizing the Internet convention suite over a parcel exchanged system, for example, a LAN or the Internet, rather than being conveyed through customary physical, satellite flag, and digital TV groups. Not at all like downloaded media, IPTV offers the capacity to stream the media in littler clumps, straightforwardly from the source. Accordingly, a customer media player can start playing the information, (for example, a motion picture) before the whole record has been transmitted. This is known as spilling media.
