What is a IPTV?
TV channels that can be streamed over the Internet.

Dudes, do we as south africans have any IPTV options? I know we have apple tv and itunes, and DSTV VOD, but do we have anything else? Like sports channels n stuff, even if its subscription based? I would really like to know.
I believe this is the future of TV.

Supersport can also be streamed, there was talk of the SABC planing to stream SABC 1, 2 & 3 in SA. But at the rate government entities take to deploy something it looks like it might happen in the year 3000... Just look at the DVB/H-T2 deployment 6 years into testing and no light at the end of that tunnel yet....

Sports is all I really need though to complete my ultimate DSTV-free entertainment system.
Do you know how they stream SS? Is it flash, silverlight or H264? I hope its H264 so I can add it to my apple TV's list of livestreams.

True, my Samsung setup has internet connectivity & would be really nice to use it to it's full potential.
We have experimentation but nothing really commercial. The problem is that one player has a stranglehold on the key content needed to make any paid-TV service work, so no new players can really enter the market unless they have very deep pockets.
I do hope the likes of Google-TV enter our market as they can afford a longer battle and could really shake out our market for the better.
I personally would love to see Netflix coming in and would subscribe to that rather than paying a fortune for the dish service.
