Quick definitions
OTT streaming: over-the-top video: any service delivered over the open internet, from Netflix to live TV apps. Technically, most consumer IPTV is OTT too.
Barcelona is a third-party product or service. We can’t vouch for its terms, so judge it on the points below.
Key differences
- OTT streaming strengths: licensed apps on every device and polished interfaces and cloud DVR.
- OTT streaming drawbacks: channels split across several subscriptions and monthly prices that add up quickly.
Choose OTT streaming if…
- You prefer licensed apps from big brands.
- You only need a handful of channels.
Which one suits you
Licensed streaming apps are polished and simple, but the channels you want are often split across several subscriptions. IPTV puts a broad lineup behind one login and one guide, with quality and licensing that depend on the provider you choose.
Cost and setup
Each licensed service has its own app, account and monthly bill, and households that want news, sports and entertainment often end up paying for two or three. An IPTV service is one login in one player app, prepaid for the length you choose. See also: IPTV vs Smart TV and IPTV vs VPN.
