Differences between IP TV vs Digital TV Box

In this day and age, all our devices have been developing at a rapid pace. The mobile phone, which once had keypads, is now a glass screen. The laptops are getting smaller, faster, and more powerful. Watches have come with the latest features, Operating Systems and more. In a world where change has become the only constant, the humble TV has also changed itself from its rather boxy past.

The TVs of the older days were quiet broad and heavy, while the content did not have much variety either. Fast forward to the modern day and you get sleek, smart TVs, equipped with 8K display technologies and much more. But, it’s not just always about looks. Technology has gone to places where there’s much more than what meets the eye of the common man. Now you get IP TVs, and digital TV boxes.

Here at Airtel, we have both: the Airtel Xstream smart Android box and the Airtel DTH set top box. However, there are quite a lot of underlying differences between a smart IP TV vs Digital TV box. Let us look at some of them.
