Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) Explained

Internet Protocol Television — IPTV — is television delivered over the internet instead of cable or satellite. Here's exactly how it works.

Quick answer: IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) is TV delivered over the internet as data, rather than via cable or satellite broadcast.

What Internet Protocol Television means

Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) streams live channels and on-demand video as data over your internet connection, using the same IP networking that powers the web. Unlike cable or satellite, there's no fixed broadcast signal — each stream is requested and delivered on demand.

  • Live TV, video-on-demand and time-shifted/catch-up TV
  • Works on any internet-connected device
  • Far more channels and titles than traditional TV

How IPTV works in Canada

A provider like PW IPTV hosts channels on streaming servers; an app on your device requests each stream over your home internet. 15 Mbps is recommended for HD and 25 Mbps+ for 4K.
