IPTV (Eng. Internet Protocol Television) is built on the data transmission technology adopted in the open Internet. The distinction fibs in the point that:

IPTV is a closed system, the provider of which provides a number of services to subscribers to provide access to media content. One of the reasons for the closed nature of the system is the need to protect copyright.
Content is provided as a package of radio and TV channels. Services outside of the package are subject to a separate fee.
The range and quality of services depends on the configuration of the provider’s head server and the set-top box-decoder on the user’s side.
Conventionally, IPTV can be compared with cable television, but IPTV technology has added the ability to connect IP telephony and/or the Internet over a single incoming cable, as well as apply three types of transmission: Unicast (unicast); Broadcast (broadcast) and Multicast (multicast), which increases the flexibility of the system.
