===Internet television=== {{main|Streaming television}} {{Distinguish|Smart television|Internet Protocol television|Web television}} Internet television (Internet TV) (or online television) is the [[digital distribution]] of television content via the Internet as opposed to traditional systems like terrestrial, cable, and satellite, although the Internet itself is received by terrestrial, cable, or satellite methods. Internet television is a general term that covers the delivery of television series and other video content over the Internet by video streaming technology, typically by major traditional television broadcasters. Internet television should not be confused with [[Smart TV]], [[IPTV]], or with [[Web TV]]. [[Smart television]] refers to the television set which has a built-in operating system. Internet Protocol television (IPTV) is one of the emerging Internet television technology standards for use by television networks. [[Web television]] is a term used for programs created by a wide variety of companies and individuals for broadcast on Internet television. Traditional cable and satellite television providers began to offer services such as [[Sling TV]], owned by Dish Network, which was unveiled in January 2015.<ref>Joshua Brustein (January 5, 2015).
