streaming television

Streaming television is a method of watching TV content through the internet rather than traditional broadcast or cable services. When you stream, your device connects to a service's servers, downloading the video data in real-time so you can watch immediately without downloading the entire file. This allows instant access to a vast library of shows and movies on demand, often via apps or websites, on various devices like smart TVs, smartphones, or computers. Streaming offers flexibility, personalized recommendations, and often fewer interruptions from ads compared to traditional TV viewing.
