Have no clue what it means and if it’s available in my neck of the woods.

My TVs are 10 YO , the first Samsung series with LAN port, no built in WIFI, not SMART.

Noticed both my TV sets and my router support IpTV/Vlan and i wonder if there’s an improvement there i’m ignoring.
Since the TV are as dumb as the owner, i stream using a second gen Chromecasts.

Someone willing to enlight me? Thanks

Don't think it's worth worrying too much about the details.

I never really heard of the term IPTV too much or didn't pay attention to it.
Seems it is how set-top boxes deploy Netflix and whatever.
VLANS on the other hand is quite different and a well know protocol for isolating subnets.

I would say since your TV is not that new aka smart TV - just use your devices for streaming and you will be fine.

I guess you (me) can always learn something and if this is something to be concerned about someone can chime it.

Thank you Steve,

During my younger audio/stereo days, i couldn’t leave alone unused inputs and outputs. Had to buy another recorder or device to make use of everything.

Guess some of this still remains, leave no options unexplored.
