What Is Streaming and How Does It Work?

One of the biggest benefits of having fast Internet connectivity is to be able to stream. Streaming allows you to listen to music or watch videos in “real time” instead of having to download a file to your computer or device. With streaming, you can have online access to shows, movies, music, short online video content (from DIY tutorials to music videos), webcast of live events, podcasts, and so much more.

Live TV Streaming vs. Traditional TV

  • Live TV Streaming lets you watch the same content you’d get from your traditional way of watching TV, but with the added benefits of on-screen guides, DVR functionality, and more.
  • Live TV Streaming airs content live at a specific time on a specific channel, just like Traditional TV. It’s not to be confused with on-demand streaming that allows you to pick what you want to watch, and watch it at your own schedule.
  • Live TV Streaming specifically delivers entertainment content over the Internet, giving you an alternative option to TV content.
