IPTV stands for TV over IP networks. It actually means TV over any type of IP
packet based distribution network. They can be referred to as LAN (Local Area
Network), ethernet, computer networks, etc.. With the growth of LAN based TV
distribution systems, having an IPTV input in your field strength meter becomes
a handy feature.
The equipment allows you to receive television programmes coming from IPTV
networks. Those programmes can be displayed on the screen together with other
important service information.

the measurements you need to understand, identify and correct the new
problems that can be found in this new type of television distribution networks.
