IPTV, or Internet Protocol Television, is a technology that allows on-demand transmission of television and video content over the internet. Unlike traditional satellite, cable or aerial transmission systems, IPTV uses the IP (Internet Protocol) protocol to distribute programmes and channels directly to internet-connected devices such as Smart TVs, computers, smartphones and tablets.

The way IPTV works is quite simple and innovative: Video content is broken down into small data packets and sent over the internet to the user’s device. These packets are then reorganised on the device and converted into a continuous video stream, allowing the selected channel or content to be viewed. Unlike traditional TV, which continuously transmits all channels to those connected, IPTV sends the content the user wants only when they want to watch it, making the process much more efficient and personalised.

This transmission takes place through IPTV lists, which are sets of links organised in files in M3U format or other formats that direct the user to specific TV channels or content. These lists can be added to specific IPTV applications such as Smart IPTV, Kodi, VLC, among others.

IPTV also offers a personalised experience, with the user being able to choose what they want to watch and when they want to watch it. With a stable internet connection, it is possible to watch content in high definition (HD) or even 4K, depending on the quality of the service and the list used. This type of technology has gained popularity because it offers flexibility, a large number of entertainment options and often a higher cost-benefit ratio than traditional pay-TV models.

Mendes Player, for example, offers an IPTV list with a wide range of channels, films, series and sports programmes. With dedicated technical support and a free trial, the company offers a modern, accessible and high-quality TV experience.
