In the past, television was only distributed via cable, satellite, or terrestrial systems. Internet TV is basically defined as the ability to view video streams over the Internet. The primary models for Internet television are streaming Internet TV or selectable video on an Internet location, typically a website. While in the past reduced bandwidth has confined the images to small windows and grainy resolutions, newer codecs like DivX and increased speeds of broadband have created extremely high quality images in sizes around 320 by 200. As the size of the images increases, the size of the picture points also increases creating a less defined picture. To a great degree, this reflects more of an attempt to save the costs of streaming bandwith than the technical ability of generating a clear picture streamed full screen over the Internet.

Today – with the increase in Internet connection speeds, advances in technology, the increase of total number of people online, and the decrease in connection costs – it has become increasingly common to find traditional television content accessible freely and legally over the Internet. In addition to this, new Internet-only television content has appeared which is not distributed via cable, satellite, or terrestrial systems. Very few cable and satellite television stations stream the same content over the Internet, thus protecting the cable systems’ contracted “right of first use” for the content.

Internet Television services have at least two different models:

• Free
• Subscription based
