Frequently Asked Questions / I can stream lots of content from on demand streaming services, why do I need an IPTV system?

Each connection to on demand streaming services, such as BBC iPlayer or Hulu, is a separate connection to the internet, which means when you start having a number of users watching at once, it can be a draw on your network. By using a MediaStar IPTV system, you bring in the TV channels over the air, and then distribute internally, using Multicast streams, which is low impact on the network.
