Featured Guide

What is IPTV and why are more people choosing it?

IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) delivers live TV channels over broadband instead of satellite or cable. No dish, no set-top box, no installation visit — just point your smart TV, phone, or laptop at a playlist URL and stream from 150+ countries worldwide.

Coverage spans CCTV and provincial satellites for Chinese viewers, Phoenix TV and TVB for Hong Kong / Taiwan audiences, plus CNN, BBC, ESPN, HBO and the rest of the major Western networks across news, sports, movies, drama, documentaries and kids programming. For overseas Chinese, IPTV is one of the few reliable ways to keep up with CCTV-4, Phoenix TV and TVB Jade without a satellite dish. For cord-cutters, it offers channel breadth and multi-device flexibility traditional pay TV cannot match. The directory refreshes daily.

methodology

Data sources & how we keep the directory current

updated daily

Primary data source

Channel metadata and stream URLs are aggregated from iptv-org/iptv, the largest open-source IPTV channel repository (137K+ GitHub stars). We add country-specific public playlists as supplementary sources.

Daily verification

A cron job runs every day at 03:00 UTC. It checks each stream URL, removes channels returning HTTP errors or with broken media types, and flags quality drops (bitrate below 500 kbps).

What we do not host

IPTV Search indexes publicly accessible M3U/M3U8 playlist URLs. We do not host, transcode, mirror, or re-broadcast any stream. All channel artwork is fetched from broadcaster sources or Wikimedia Commons.

Last database refresh

Verified on 2026-09-15. Channel counts reflect the active subset only - dead and region-locked streams are excluded from search results.
