Abstract

This study describes the main features of a television system broadcast by the IPTV internet protocol.

Objective: Give an overview of the status of television via IP network in Colombia. Results: IPTV as a service, allows user tailoring of content and would virtually turn your TV into a system to surf the Web, shop, record and play back either movies downloaded from the network or broadcast television programs, among other features making IPTV a comprehensive television system with many benefits for the user and the service provider; since this system is based on IP protocols and existing broadband infrastructure, it is much easier and inexpensive to implement than to adopt other systems such as satellite.
