IPTV (Internet television) is a system for watching television and content on demand taking advantage of the broadband connection that reaches homes. It is similar to traditional cable systems with the difference that the television signals travel through fiber optics and are delivered to the user who contracts the service through a decoder device, and the content can be recorded to be viewed later.
It is a completely legal system when it is provided by the Internet provider or entities that have the respective transmission rights. Each IPTV package can combine signals from digital television channels that broadcast their content openly, pay television channels and content on demand, all of them grouped in a list.
However, IPTV lists that broadcast streaming content that can be played through specific applications for computers, phones and smart TVs work under this same concept, which enter the realm of the illegal when they contain the pirated signals of sports channels from payment or give access to exclusive content from platforms such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video or Apple TV Plus.
