Short answer: use FTP movie servers when you want to browse and download a big library of films on demand, and IPTV / live TV servers when you want channels playing live (sports, news, dramas). Both run over BDIX, so both are fast and usually data-free — the right choice is about how you like to watch.
FTP movie servers
These are file servers you open in a browser. You browse folders, then stream or download whatever you want, whenever you want. Great for building a collection and watching offline. See the FTP movie server list.
IPTV / FTP live TV
Live TV servers stream channels in real time — ideal for sports, news and live events. You don't choose individual files; you pick a channel and watch. Browse the live TV list.
