Sat / iptv freezing comparison question

[roadrunneric]

When using services like rocket or nfps.

Everyone who has come from the sat tv community is familiar with the term freezing. This type of lag was usually caused to be on the server end and was most times temporary in nature.

With iptv many of these channels come from all around the world and playlists are usually a hodge podge of channels from different locations on the world wide web and not coming from a centralised location.

Therefore, is it true that instead of a majority of my freezing with iptv is likely not server maint and issues, but rather ping time or packet loss issues that will likely be more consistent than what a person experienced with iks and their intermittent server maint issues of some sort?
