Notable applications Compared Appīranded webtv service for end-users A central management facility manages content distribution over multiple peer servers (also known as edge servers, or caches), strategically located near user swarms (generally popular access ISP networks), manages load balancing, redirection of users, view reporting and QoS. Distribution servers are not centrally installed, but are rolled out in a smart, decentralized way.

Professional broadcasters and distributors have used a hybrid solution for many years.If a broadcaster prefers to limit access to their content based on regions, and would like good data on viewer behaviour, such as volume, trends and viewing time, then a traditional broadcasting solution offers more control. Each viewer is a part of a chain of viewers who can all have a negative influence on the reliability of the stream (by having a slow PC, a filled downlink or uplink or an unreliable consumer grade DSL or cable connection). Compared to unicasting (the standard server-client architecture used in streaming media) no one can guarantee a reliable stream, since every user is a rebroadcaster. Broadcasting via a P2PTV system is usually much cheaper than the alternatives and can be done by private individuals.Other commercial P2PTV applications outside China are Abroadcasting (USA), Zattoo (Switzerland/USA), Octoshape (Denmark), LiveStation (UK). By January 2009, there were about 14,000 P2P channels on PPStream.

Some applications distribute TV channels without a legal license to do so this utilization of P2P technology is particularly popular to view channels that are either not available locally, or only available by paid subscription, as is the case for some sports channels. The majority of available applications broadcast mainly Asian TV stations, with the exception of TVUPlayer, which carries a number of North American stations including CBS, Spike TV, and Fox News. Many of the commercial P2PTV applications were developed in China ( TVUPlayer, PPLive, QQLive, PPStream). Some applications allow users to broadcast their own streams, whether self-produced, obtained from a video file, or through a TV tuner card or video capture card. The need for a tracker can also be eliminated by the use of distributed hash table technology. In effect, this creates an overlay network on top of the regular internet for the distribution of real-time video content. The tracker records the user's address, so that it can be given to other users who wish to view the same channel.

The architecture of many P2PTV networks can be thought of as real-time versions of BitTorrent: if a user wishes to view a certain channel, the P2PTV software contacts a 'tracker server' for that channel in order to obtain addresses of peers who distribute that channel it then contacts these peers to receive the feed. The video quality of the channels usually depends on how many users are watching the video quality is better if there are more users.

The arriving streams are typically a few minutes time-delayed compared to the original sources. In a P2PTV system, each user, while downloading a video stream, is simultaneously also uploading that stream to other users, thus contributing to the overall available bandwidth.
