IPTV for Gamers: Watching TV While Gaming Without Lag
If you like having live TV on while you game, you can set it up so neither one suffers.
Second screen or device is the cleanest approach
A separate small display or tablet running your IPTV app keeps it from competing with your gaming setup at all.
Picture-in-picture on a single TV
Some TVs support picture-in-picture between an app and an HDMI input. Check whether your model does if you want both on one screen.
Bandwidth considerations
Online gaming and 4K IPTV at the same time use a lot of bandwidth. See bandwidth by resolution and make sure your connection has room for both.
For general connection optimization, see router settings for smooth streaming.
