_http://orangeearth.com/slingbox-hosting/ is one of the many slingbox hosting companies, but they're not cheap.

IPTV describes a system capable of receiving and displaying a video stream encoded as a series of Internet Protocol packets. If you've ever watched a video clip on your computer, you've used an IPTV system in its broadest sense. When most people discuss IPTV, though, they're talking about watching traditional channels on your television, where people demand a smooth, high-resolution, lag-free picture.

I would have thought that is the very principle of the Slingbox, streaming from the satellite stb over the internet to an IP address, what do you understand to be IPTV?

I suggest you google uk tv streaming if you are wanting paid providers of UK TV Streams

Okay,to put it another way,is there a box that can give us BBC ,ITV etc over the internet ? There is a box called Easy vision here, but it seems a bit pricey and quality not fantastic.
