📺 What is IPTV?

IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) is a way to watch live TV, movies, and series using the internet instead of cable or satellite.

Unlike traditional services, IPTV lets you:

• Stream content on demand or live
• Watch on multiple devices (TV, phone, tablet, computer)
• Avoid long-term contracts or hidden fees

🔍 In Simple Terms:

IPTV = TV that streams over the internet, not a cable line.
