Internet Protocol television

Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) is a way of watching TV shows and movies over an internet connection. It means that the TV shows and movies are not shown on regular broadcast TV channels but instead are streamed through the internet. This allows viewers to watch TV programs and movies wherever they have an internet connection, such as on their computers, laptops, smartphones and tablets. IPTV can also have extra features like allowing viewers to pause, fast-forward and rewind shows, view shows on-demand and use a video recorder.
