Windows & Mac IPTV questions
Is VLC enough?
VLC is great for quick viewing but has no TV guide grid. Use a dedicated player for EPG and catch-up.
Can I watch in a web browser?
Not reliably. Browsers don't handle IPTV streams well, so a desktop player is recommended.
Does a computer use one connection?
Yes, while it is streaming.
