So what’s Internet tv, and how do you watch it? Essentially it comprises a selection of generally pre recorded shows or live news streams that are selectable through the user, utilizing either country or category like a search term. Internet tv comprises of many types of online channels such as iptv, catch up tv, video on demand and p2p streaming, hosted streams and bittorrents, nevertheless the distinction is that internet tv is free of charge to observe wherever you are worldwide.
IPTV is usually offered as a paid service by cable and telephone companies and requiring a set top box connected to your television.
Catch up TV - Most of the major network companies offer a catchup tv service. In effect, you can watch any of the previous 7 days televised shows anytime you wish by logging onto their website and possibly downloading a tv player application. The disadvantage of this service is that the service is geo targetted (You can only watch BBC catch up tv if you reside in the UK and only watch Fox shows if you are a resident of the USA). The websites check your IP address
when you load the site and either allow or disallow you to view based on your location.
Video on demand or VOD - This generally refers to paid for services and usually applies to movies. Netflix, Blockbuster and Amazon are just a few of the companies that offer this service. Just login to the site, pay a fee and get to watch the movie.
P2P Streaming - Watching streams from a network of users. You need to download a software application to view and the speed of the stream depends on the number of suppliers of the stream against the number of viewers. Generally used to view pirated and or unauthorised content without the permission of the owner.
Hosted streams - These streams available on many websites usually comprise of movies or TV episodes and are always illegally broadcast. The streams are hosted in other countries such as China to circumnavigate any prosecutions. However the websites that link to them are occasionally shut down. An example is the website TVlinks.co.uk which was shut down in a high profile case recently. The illegality of just linking to these streams is however in question and no real prosecutions of note have ever been completed. The other downside to these streams is that sites linking to them are usually full of popup ads and zango installs that can then infect your PC.
Bittorrents - Similar to P2P downloading. Using bittorrents involves downloading the whole movie or TV show stream to your PC harddrive for watching at your leisure. Again the streams are generally not authorised, the streams quality is usually questionable and the downloading can take several hours to complete.
