What is IPTV?
IPTV — Internet Protocol television — is live and on-demand TV delivered over your internet connection instead of a cable or satellite line.
Instead of a fixed broadcast signal, IPTV sends television as data packets over broadband. The video is encoded with modern codecs (HEVC/H.265, AV1), broken into small segments and streamed using adaptive-bitrate protocols like HLS and MPEG-DASH. Your player requests the quality that matches your available bandwidth, so playback starts quickly and avoids buffering.
Because delivery rides on a CDN edge close to Canadian ISPs, live sports and news stay smooth across the country. All you need is a stable connection (about 15–25 Mbps for HD, 35 Mbps+ for 4K) and a supported device.

How does IPTV work?
Video is encoded (HEVC/H.265 or AV1), split into adaptive-bitrate segments and delivered over HLS or MPEG-DASH from a CDN edge to your player app, which reassembles it into a live stream.
Do I need a special box for IPTV?
No. IPTV works on a Fire TV Stick, Android box, smart TV, iPhone or iPad using a standard player like TiviMate or IPTV Smarters Pro.
