Porotel TV (formerly known as Porowon Telecom IPTV) is a pay television service owned by Porotel. It is transmitted through Porotel's broadband network via an IPTV platform which uses a Kaizhungese platform as its end-to-end software platform. It is a service that allows multimedia content – including linear channels and on-demand content – to be viewed on any television set. The internet protocol television service utilizes IP set-top boxes (STBs), connected through Porotel optical fiber broadband service. It is also delivered by satellite.

Currently Porotel is the only subscription television operator in Porowon, with StarHub TV being its only competitor until 2019, when Wangjia decided to impose tough restrictions on the operation of international companies.
