AFRICANEWSWIRE.NET (October, 23 2011) Narellan, New South Wales – In an increasingly mobile society, consumers demand technologies that keep pace with their busy lifestyles. They want to have their media available to them when they want it, wherever they happen to be. Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) has revolutionised the way people access their favourite television and Internet programming, allowing them to have mobile entertainment anywhere there is Internet access.

According to the computer experts at PCSoft, IPTV is nothing short of revolutionary. Instead of getting content through radio frequency, satellite signal, or cable system, Internet Protocol Television works over broadband Internet networking. The innovation takes advantage of today's blazing fast Internet speeds to steam live or on demand content to a computer, television, or gaming system. IPTV allows people to watch their favourite television shows while on the go, and it also allows them to stream content from the Internet to their home televisions. It essentially bridges the gap between the two most popular media formats, and syncs them to work together. Consumers find the personalisation and interactive experience of IPTV to be a major selling point. IPTV has also found popularity in universities, corporations, and other institutions.

IPTV can be used over gaming systems, such as the Xbox 360. Consumers can turn their Xbox 360 into a mobile television anywhere that they have a broadband Internet connection. Foxtel Live TV has up to thirty channels which stream over IPTV. In addition, there is an extensive catalog of Box Office on demand, enabling the viewer to choose a movie to watch with the press of the button. No more trips to the video store to rent a DVD, having to go back to return it, and worries about late fees. Consumers can watch a film on demand whenever they choose. The ability to control and personalise content is exactly what today's consumers want from their technological devices.

In the home, IPTV allows any Internet-ready television to stream live content from the web. Families can watch You Tube videos on the big screen in their lounge. They can search the Internet for videos about travel destinations, watch streaming music performances, or anything else they like. And of course, they can still watch their favourite television shows and stream movies on demand. The flexibility of IPTV has changed the way consumers experience watching television. As PCSoft explains, the demand for IPTV will continue to grow as more people get connected to fast broadband Internet.
