UK & Scandinavian TV using a MagBox & IPTV

IPTV

• Internet Protocol Television

Let’s keep it simple or a simple as we can when talking about the internet and IPTV.

IPTV is short for “internet protocol television”, you know how everyone likes to use initials these days. The “IP” in IPTV is the same one you hear mentioned when talking about computers, it’s an IP address which means the television programmes are being sent using the internet protocol via the internet.

However with Terrestrial and Satellite TV the signals are transmitted and then you receive them via either an aerial or a dish. Because of this transmission through the atmosphere these systems can be affected by the weather, line of sight and poor satellite signals. Often you can only watch what’s being broadcasted unless you have some means to record and playback later.
