IP TV

I thought I would explain a little bit more about one of the products in the previous post, as mentioned Tiscali TV is an Internet protocol television (IP TV) service, which is a full TV service that consists of delivery of programming by encoding a video stream has a series of IP packets. This service can deliver video or TV on demand, (in other words stored remotely on the server) for example a library of films in tiscali TV’s case a library of over 1500 films.

This service and technology will also deliver regular TV scheduling and also live TV coverage with Tiscali’s this service if ordered through a tiscali associate website comes with a free PVR enabling the recording of the regular TV schedule or live TV, you can pause, fast forward or rewind your viewing, so for example if you are watching a live football match and you get a knock at the door, you can pause the match and restart it from where you left off, maybe five or ten minutes later for example.

One of the main advantages of using an IP TV service (e.g Tiscali TV) is that being already delivered down and existing broadband connection these services being supplied by an existing ISP can be bundled and therefore the prices can be heavily discounted. In Tiscali’s case this service is delivered on local loop unbundled exchanges so the company can offer some incredible prices, by combining all these services together.

This is a huge incentive for the customer, for example Tiscali TV comes bundled with telephone calls, broadband, and line rental all-inclusive from only £19.99 (You will also get free international calls!)

Another point to mention about Tiscali TV is that it is a digital TV service, as I think everybody knows within the UK the analog signal is being switched off, the digital switchover is taking place between 2008 and will be finalised by the year ending 2012. so without having to bolt on a satellite dish or go to the expense of installing a digital aerial why not utilise your existing telephone line and a bundle all of the services together through tiscali and save yourself a fortune.
