This means that entertainment content can now be streamed and received by anyone with an Internet connection. This leads to more competition and lower prices. More importantly, it provides a better user experience, allowing you to watch what you want, when you want. You no longer watch media on a receiver, you have an entertainment centre at your fingertips.

‘This IPTV business seems complicated’ is a common reaction. IPTV itself can be highly technical and difficult to set up. The good news is: There are numerous plug-and-play solutions available that require no experience or configuration. It’s as easy as plugging a box into your television and sitting back in your armchair. Below, we’ll look at the different types of set-top boxes available and which devices you should choose.
