Definition

IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) delivers TV over the internet instead of aerial, satellite or cable. Channels, movies and series reach you via your connection, on any device.

How it works

You get login details (or an M3U link) entered into an IPTV app, which connects to the server streaming live channels and VOD up to 4K.

Benefits

Thousands of channels for a few dollars a month, on-demand VOD, 4K, and support for every screen. No contract.

How to choose

Pick a provider with stable premium servers, a huge catalog, fast support and a free trial — like X-OTT.
