IPTV
Web-delivered TV service
IPTV stands for Internet Protocol Television—television content delivered over internet networks rather than traditional broadcast, cable, or satellite signals.
The technology allows streaming video on demand and live channels through apps or set-top boxes: We cut the cord and switched to IPTV.
The term often refers to unofficial services offering pirated content.
