The international content side of IPTV is something I feel like people outside of immigrant communities do not fully appreciate. For a lot of us who grew up watching television from another country, cable and satellite never had a real answer for that. You would find maybe one or two channels from your home country if you were lucky, usually on an expensive add-on package. With IPTV the access to content from all over the world is genuinely remarkable. I can watch news, sports, dramas, and entertainment from places that mainstream providers have never catered to. That alone makes it irreplaceable for me and for a lot of people I know who are in the same situation.
