About IPTV
The computer has invaded almost all sectors of our lives. No place or situation today is bereft of the use of computers. The computer technology invaded the idiot box in our living room some time ago with digitalization in the form of direct-to-home (DTH) high quality digital pictures. Now, another computer technology has affected the idiot box in a new way. This technology proposes the discarding of antennas, cable TV wires, and the DTH set top box to bring to you television viewing through the internet. This technology is known as the Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) technology. IPTV delivers digital television service through a system that delivers broadband connection to our homes. All channels being broadcast are encoded in a format defined by Internet Protocol (IP). This code is then delivered to television sets through a device that decodes the earlier encoding. The transfer of information happens on a network. The device that decodes and delivers the final transmission of channels is smarter than the regular set top box. Advantages of IPTV * It is possible to pause a live transmission through IPTV. The viewer will no longer miss any part of his/her programme if he/she has to attend to urgent work.

* IPTV lets you record your favourite programmes so that you can watch them at a time convenient to you. Furthermore, you can record multiple programmes at the same time through IPTV.

* IPTV ensures high quality of sound and picture, almost like when a DVD is played.

* All the channels that are live and are being broadcast can be availed through IPTV. Thus, a viewer does not miss out on any of his favourite shows that run on rarely available channels.

* IPTV is not affected by changes in the weather unlike cable TV and DTH service. Apart from being a high quality service, IPTV gains a brownie point for providing uninterrupted transmission during bad weather.

Drawback with IPTV A high speed is set as the minimum for smooth transmission. On a slow network, there could be delays or packet loss at times leading to problems in the transmission.

Future of IPTV IPTV seems to have a bright future what with convergence playing on peoples minds. The telephone, the computer, and the TV can be run by the same company through the same network, thereby saving consumers a lot of hassle. However, it is also argue that only technology-savvy people will be interested in a convergence or the benefits of IPTV. While it is somewhat correct that computer-savvy people will be more likely to opt for IPTV, proper marketing and making the potential customer aware of IPTVs benefits will make people interested in the new technology. Earlier it has been seen that proper market and clear communication have been able to build a good consumer base of the DTH service. IPTV is yet to pick up in India. However, if the IPTV companies can prove to their potential customers that IPTV is more advantageous than the cable service or the now popular DTH service, IPTV is likely to become a huge hit in the country.

IPTV has some Disadvantages mentioned as:

1). Video data compressed a lot, so picture quality is poor compare to other DTH & Digital quality.2). It's prise is to higher for average people........

ADSL:
Short for asymmetric digital subscriber line, ADSL is a type of DSL broadband communications technology used for connecting to the Internet. ADSL allows more data to be sent over existing copper telephone lines (POTS), when compared to traditional modem lines. A special filter, called a microfilter, is installed on a subscriber's telephone line to allow both ADSL and regular voice (telephone) services to be used at the same time. ADSL requires a special ADSL modem and subscribers must be in close geographical locations to the provider's central office to receive ADSL service. Typically this distance is within a radius of 2 to 2.5 miles. ADSL supports data rates of from 1.5 to 9 Mbps when receiving data (known as the downstream rate) and from 16 to 640 Kbps when sending data (known as the upstream rate). VDSL y

VDSL or VHDSL (Very High Bitrate DSL) is a DSL technology providing faster data transmission over a single flat untwisted or twisted pair of ... VDSL stands for Very High Bit Rate DSL. It is a different type of DSL that can offer customers up to 100 Mbps downstream and 50 Mbps upstream.

Very high bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line: Modem for twisted pair access operating at data rates from 12.9 to 52.8 Mbps with corresponding maximum reach ranging from 4500 to 1000 feet of 24gauge twisted pair. Very High Bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL) technology is proposed for shorter local loops, perhaps up to 3000 ft. ... (Very-high-speed Digital Subscriber Line, aka VADSL, BDSL) is the fastest form of DSL, with the ability to achieve data rates up to approximately ... Very High DSL very high-speed digital subscriber line. An extremely wide bandwidth version of DSL that delivers data over copper lines at speeds up to 52.8 Mbps over a maximum distance of 4,500 feet. Refer to DSL definition for more information on DSL. VDSL is a fast connection, but works only over a short distance.
