IPTV vs satellite and cable TV in Saudi Arabia

Most Saudi homes grew up with a dish on the roof. IPTV delivers the same kind of live TV over the internet. Here is how the two compare.

Equipment

Satellite needs a dish, cabling and a receiver. IPTV needs only the internet you already have and an app on a TV, box or phone.

Channels and on demand

A dish gives you what the satellites carry. IPTV adds international channels from many countries, plus films and series on demand and a TV guide — on one subscription.

Where you can watch

A dish works on the TV it is wired to. IPTV works on any screen with internet, at home or when you travel, one screen at a time per line.

What it depends on

Satellite depends on the weather and the dish alignment; IPTV depends on your internet. A stable 8 Mbps is enough for HD, 25 Mbps for 4K.
