<br>KPN delivers 2Mbit streams for Digitenne and 4 Mbit for IPTV, Tele2 probably offers something with about same specs. IPTV looks quite a bit better than digitenne(because of better source and better scaler, the VIP1960 is connected with HDMI and digitenne with scart).<br>
As far as I know nobody has been able to get the signal decoded on a box other that the standard STB with IPTV from KPN, dunno bout Tele2.<br></blockquote></div></div>Other then specs, seeing is believing, I do have a 19' TV with build-in DVB-T tuner and it looks A LOT BETTER then what I've seen in their Shop from IPTV, it was horrible. </blockquote>

<div>There can be many reasons why you had this experience. It seems to me that they probably messed up their IPTV setup in the store somehow. Either way, IPTV does not use inferior technology to Digitenne so with double the bandwidth IPTV should provide superior image quality.<br>
