Internet Protocol television (IPTV) is a head-end system through which television and digital signage services are delivered using the Internet protocol suite over a packet-switched enterprise network, instead of being delivered through traditional RF coax. IPTV is very cost-effective, flexible, and highly interactive. Services may be classified into one of the four groups below.

• Live television from DirecTV, Dish Network, cable, Over-The-Air TV, internal live feeds, studio feeds, and more.
• Time-shifted television, DVR, or Personal Video Recorder (PVR) is where the user can catch-up on TV, replays a TV show, replay a missed play in sports anywhere from seconds, hours, or days ago. The user can use start-over TV to watch a live show from the beginning.
