Compare IPTV with vergelijken
What is IPTV exactly, and how does it compare to cable, satellite and free streams? Below is the difference on the points that matter.
IPTV versus cable TV
Cable works via a physical coax or fibre connection to your home. You pay for a bundle that is often locked in for years. IPTV runs over the internet connection you already have, so no extra cables are needed and you are not tied to your home.
- No installation or extra cabling needed
- Fixed monthly price, cancel at any time
- Fewer channels in the base bundle, far more in the full package
- An extra screen costs nothing for the third TV
IPTV versus satellite
Satellite gives a stable picture, but needs a dish and a clear view of the southern sky. IPTV works over the internet you already have, also in a rented flat or apartment.
- No dish or installation needed
- Works without a free line of sight
- No hardware you later have to sell
IPTV versus free streams
Free streams look attractive, but often deliver inconsistent quality, interruptions at busy moments and little help when something goes wrong. With IPTV you pay for a stable service with support.
- More stable stream, also during popular events
- Support you can actually reach when you get stuck
- No fluctuating quality or random interruptions
When is IPTV not the best choice?
If you are often away from home, a different solution may suit that location better. If you also need very high internet speeds for other purposes, check first whether your connection can handle it.
