An IPTV server is responsible for receiving and broadcasting a video stream from a satellite to a local network. Depending on the network capabilities, it can be implemented using various protocols. The easiest way to watch your favorite channels over the Internet is to purchase a ready-made package from an IPTV service provider.
Those who do not want to pay a provider every month prefer to create their own server. A regular PC running MS Windows can be used as a server. But a higher quality result can be achieved by implementing IPTV based on a modern Android Box and Tvheaden set-top box. By creating such a device, you get the opportunity to enjoy excellent image quality, as well as implement many additional options that ensure convenient viewing of programs, including:
receiving menus and TV programs;
shifting the broadcast time to a later date;
recording your favorite programs and movies.
However, since the components included in IPTV are produced by different companies, then when assembling the server yourself, you need to be prepared for the fact that all these units will have to be integrated with each other.
