The television scene has changed more recently than a snow globe in the hands of an inquisitive kid. The iptv, Internet Protocol Television, sits at the center of this storm challenging the venerable giant, conventional cable. Both have advantages, but which one really earns the sought-after space in your living room when push comes first?
First let’s start with the classic cable. It’s been around since bell-bottoms were in style and for the longest period, it’s been the go-to fix for seeing anything from nightly news to exciting series finale. For many, cable provides a consistent connection, a varied network selection, and is—for many, as dependable as a cup of coffee to get you going in morning. People have been savoring its consistent programming schedule for decades free from the vagaries of internet access.
Still, cable has certain fly in the ointment problems. Many times, customers are limited to costlier rates and combined bundles with channels they would not often visit. It’s like only nibbling on the breadsticks while paying for an all-you-can-eat buffet. Furthermore, there’s that whole puzzle of maintenance costs and installation fees that can pile up faster than you would slam the snooze button on Monday.
On the opposite side of this technical tug-of-war comes IPTV, the hip cousin of the Internet that shows up with a skateboard and wireless earbuffs. Among its strongest selling features is Selection! Viewers of IPTV are free from time slots. Its game is flexibility; video on demand just a click away.
Not to mention the wealth of foreign material either. Fancy coming onto a Bollywood hit? Alternatively long-lost sequences of a Latin telenovela. IPTV is back-oriented. Furthermore, IPTV may be accessible via smart TVs, tablets, or even the almost glued-to- your hand phone without the heavy infrastructure needs of cable.
