Line 8: '''Internet Protocol television''' ('''IPTV''') is the delivery of [[television]] content over [[Internet Protocol]] (IP) networks. This is in contrast to delivery through traditional [[Terrestrial television\|terrestrial]], [[Satellite television\|satellite]], and [[Cable television\|cable]] television formats. Unlike [[download]]ed media, IPTV offers the ability to stream the source media continuously. As a result, a client media player can begin playing the content (such as a TV channel) almost immediately. This is known as [[streaming media]]. Although IPTV uses the Internet protocol it is not limited to [[streaming television\|television streamed]] from the [[Internet]] ([[~~Internet~~Streaming television]]). IPTV is widely deployed in subscriber-based telecommunications networks with high-speed access channels into end-user premises via [[set-top box]]es or other [[customer-premises equipment]]. IPTV is also used for media delivery around corporate and private networks. IPTV in the telecommunications arena is notable for its ongoing standardisation process (e.g., [[ETSI\|European Telecommunications Standards Institute]]). IPTV services may be classified into [[live television]] and live media, with or without related interactivity; [[time shifting]] of media, e.g., [[~~catch-up~~Video TVon demand]] (replays a TV show that was broadcast hours or days ago), start-over TV (replays the current TV show from its beginning); and [[video on demand]] (VOD) which involves browsing and viewing items of a media catalogue. ==Definition==
