What Is an IPTV Box?
An IPTV box (or IPTV set-top box) is a small device that plugs into your TV's HDMI port and streams live TV channels, sports, and on-demand content over your internet connection — replacing a cable box or satellite receiver.
Instead of receiving a signal from a dish or cable line, an IPTV box connects to your home Wi-Fi or Ethernet and delivers content through an IPTV app. With ApolloGroupTV, you get 55,000+ live channels — NHL, NFL, NBA, all PPV events, and 180,000+ VOD titles — on any of the boxes below.
