No scoring tables or made-up ratings, just the differences that change what you see on screen and what you pay each month.
The two at a glance
STB is a third-party product or service. We can’t vouch for its terms, so judge it on the points below.
IPTV: live channels and on-demand video delivered over your internet connection from a provider’s servers and watched in an app on almost any screen.
Side by side
- IPTV strengths: large lineups, including international and niche channels, no installer visit or equipment rental, and works on TVs, sticks, phones and computers.
- IPTV drawbacks: depends on your internet connection, quality varies a lot between providers, and licensing varies between services.
Choose IPTV if…
- You want a broad lineup, international channels included, behind one login.
- You watch on several kinds of screen.
- You prefer prepaid plans to contracts.
How to choose
Judge both on the same points: where the channels come from, how they hold up at peak times, what they run on and what you pay. A short prepaid period is the cheapest way to find out.
