IPTV stands for "Internet Protocol Television". In simple terms, it means watching television through your internet connection instead of a traditional antenna or cable.
The signal is sent through the network in small packets of information. You need an internet connection, a compatible device, and an IPTV player app to decode these packets and show you the channels.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal to use these IPTV lists?
The legality depends on your country's legislation and the content. Many lists contain copyrighted channels. The use of these lists is at your own risk. We do not host any content; we only share links found on the internet.
Why does a list stop working?
Free lists are unstable by nature. They can stop working because the server goes down, changes its address, or is blocked. That's why our job is to constantly search for and update the links.
Do I need a very fast internet connection?
For standard definition (SD) channels, a connection of 5-10 Mbps is usually enough. For high definition (HD) or 4K, you will need a more stable and faster connection, ideally 25 Mbps or more, to avoid buffering.
What is an EPG and how do I get one?
EPG stands for Electronic Program Guide. It shows you what is currently playing and what will be on next for each channel. Most premium services include one, and for free lists, you can often add a public EPG link in your app's settings. We have a full guide on this topic.
