For the purpose of this blog, IPTV stands for Internet Protocol Television.
For the past couple of years Internet media has been getting increasingly popular. More and more people are watching television shows and movie via the Internet (both legally and illegally). Some examples are Apple iTunes, Netflix, and xbox marketplace.
There are so many ways for companies to broadcast their media. Netflix uses the xbox 360 and its own set-top box. Apple has iTunes and Apple TV makes it extremely easy to access iTunes via the TV. Most television stations, like ABC, NBC, and Fox, allow you to watch episodes of shows that you may have missed. There is one company that gets how popular Internet broadcasting has gotten and has invested a lot of money in distributing and creating programming just for Internet viewing. Revision3 uses several different mediums of distributing its content. Not only do they distribute through their website, but they also use iTunes, Tivo, PyroTV, Bittorrent, and even more. Revision3 (aka rev3) has produced several IPTV shows including but not limited to:
- Tekzilla
- Systm
- Diggnation
- The Digg Reel
They have also signed a contract to distribute another popular IPTV show Hak.5.
I would highly reccomend checking out Revision3 at their website, revision3.com.
Could internet broadcasting be bad news for Satellite and cable companies? Tell me what you think.
Well said
