Hello everyone, I recently shifted to USA and i am missing my favorite shows, i thought to get rid of this cable and shift to IPTV. I don’t know how the live streaming works and what should be the setup, i have samsung smart TV is it enough to get a live streaming service or do i need to buy anything?

Hello there and welcome to the Wowza support forum.

This is from the Wowza home page, to better explain what Wowza is and does:

> Wowza® Media Systems powers video and audio with customizable software and cloud services for organizations to build, deploy, and manage professional-quality live and on-demand streaming solutions.

Basically it is saying Wowza is used by content providers, where it sounds like you are a content consumer.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Salvadore
