INTERNET T.V

It could change the way we get our news and entertainment. New technology can change the way we receive news and entertainment. Radio challenged newspapers in the early 1900s, and television challenged radio. Now, it is the era of internet TV or Internet protocol television (IPTV). IPTV could change the way we access information & entertainment IPTV is video and audio delivered over an Internet connection. An IPTV signal is basically a stream of data packets traveling across the Web.Along with many of the same shows you find on the big networks, many Web sites offer independently produced programs targeted toward people with specific interests. Because many sites offer on-demand services, you don't have to keep track of scheduling.
What makes IPTV possible?
There are two things that make Internet TV possible.
1. Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the number of lanes on the highway. Bandwidth is important for Internet TV, because sending large amounts of video and audio data over the Internet requires large bandwidths.
2. Streaming audio and video: Streaming technology makes it possible for us to watch live or on-demand video without downloading a copy directly to a computer.
There are a few basic steps to watch streaming audio and video:
*A server holds video data.
*When you want to watch a video, you click the right command, like "Play" or "Watch." This sends a message to the server, telling it that you want to watch a certain video.
*The server responds by sending you the necessary data.
*A player on your computer decodes and plays the video signal.

Although Internet TV promises quite a lot users with slow Internet connections may have difficulty getting data fast enough. Video quality pales in comparison to HDTV screens. websites have difficulty providing sufficient bandwidth. Peer-to-peer software may offer a possible solution,since it spreads out the amount of available information across lots of computers instead of putting all the pressure on one server.
