Now the set-top box market is full of brilliance. There are iTV launched by operators and set-top boxes launched by Xiaomi Tmall. They are all similar things. What is the difference between them? Let's take a look!
From the appearance point of view
iTV set-top box and network set-top box are not very different
both have network, audio and video interfaces, etc.
but
iTV can only be connected to
in wired mode for the time being and must be connected to the dedicated interface of the optical modem
The network set-top box can be connected to both wired and wireless.
Live comparison
Look at the iTV live broadcast first
page is more traditional
HD channel quality is still good
Look at the live page of the network set-top box
Various channels also have
The classification is relatively detailed
But the HD picture quality of the set-top box is slightly worse
And not all network set-top boxes have a live page
The stability is not as good as the private network's iTV
On-demand comparison
iTV's on-demand column classification compares traditional
such as theater documentary variety shows, etc.
There are some free
but most of them are paid
The choice of network set-top box is a little more
Clients of different manufacturers can be installed
such as Tencent's cloud audiovisual Jiguang
You can watch the video in Tencent
But some of the content also requires payment
I personally think that iTV is more suitable for users who like to watch live broadcast
Set-top box is suitable for users who like to watch homemade dramas on video platforms
How would you choose?
