Why do IPTV streams have different delays compared to satellite TV?
IPTV delay occurs because streams pass through encoding, transcoding, packetizing, CDN routing and player buffering layers. Satellite is real-time, while IPTV includes multiple digital processing steps. To reduce delay, use low-latency streams (MPEG-TS), enable fast buffering, or select providers optimized by Glanfy that minimize processing time.
