IPTV & IP-Streaming
What is IPTV?
IPTV, or Internet Protocol television, is a relatively new and still evolving technology that Digital Cast is using to deliver TV service. Digital Cast is the only national service provider to offer a 100-percent IP-based TV service, IP technology means that your TV, PC, home phone and wireless devices can be integrated to all work together, giving you unmatched features, more control and more personalization.
What are the advantages of IPTV?
IPTV is a different, improved technology than “traditional” cable or satellite TV, and it allows for more flexibility within
the network. IPTV enables two-way interactivity, versus a traditional, one-way cable or satellite broadcast network.
The two-way IPTV network means viewers have more options to interact, personalize and control their viewing
experience.
IP technology also allows for more flexibility within your home network. With IP, all of the IPTV receivers in your
home no matter which room they are in are connected on the same high-speed home network. This lets you
watch shows recorded from your DVR on any TV in the house. You can also connect gaming consoles, laptops and
other devices to your home network using the Ethernet port on the back of your set-top box
What is the difference between IPTV and Internet Video?
Watching IPTV is different than streaming videos over the public Internet.
With IPTV, programming is carried over our managed network, which
allows us to control video quality and the reliability of your service. Best-effort
Internet video can be subject to delays due to lower bandwidth, high traffic or
poor connection quality.
Because IP lets your TV communicate with other services, it can bring
integrated broadband content and features to your TV screen.
