The basics

How IPTV Works

With cable, channels come into your home through a coaxial cable and a set-top box. With IPTV, the same kind of channels come in as a data stream over your normal internet, the same way Netflix or YouTube does.

You install an IPTV player app on a device you already own, sign in with a username and password from your provider, and the app shows a channel list and TV guide that looks a lot like cable.

What you need

  • Internet of about 10 Mbps for HD or 25 Mbps for 4K
  • A device: Firestick, Smart TV, Android box, phone, tablet, Apple TV or computer
  • An IPTV player app
  • A subscription login
IPTV vs. cable vs. streaming

How IPTV Compares

  • Cable: live channels, but a contract, equipment fees and a monthly bill that keeps growing.
  • Streaming apps: great on-demand libraries, but live sports and local channels are split across many subscriptions.
  • IPTV: live channels, sports and on-demand titles in one app, on any device, usually for one payment.
