No. This playlist does not replace traditional cable, because this playlist can't include exclusive channels that may not be available on free-to-air. We recommend contacting your cable provider to offer legal alternatives to this service or visit the [iptv-org/awesome-iptv](https://github.com/iptv-org/awesome-iptv) repository for find other providers.
Yes. However, not all channels have their EPG available. See [EPG](https://github.com/iptv-org/epg) for more info. Please note that the guide is not perfect and some channels (like international feeds) may interrupt programming without you knowing.
NSFW content are not suitable for the main public. To avoid issues with these kind of programmings, we've created a separate NSFW playlist available for everyone. If you want to see this type of channel, please use the NSFW playlist.
Yes, we only need the links to be publicly accessible like FTA packages (free-to-air), online services or official websites. We recommend tagging [Geo-blocked] if it is only accessible in one or few countries.
Maybe. Consider if the country where it is broadcasted allows fair use. Owners can ban the broadcast of PPV events, and even DCMA takedowns. Check the blocklist from the repository database for more info about specific events.
These files are useful to see perfectly the channel based in your network or screen (adaptive resolution). Also the streams are permanent, without token, that avoids edit temporally their urls.
### Why are there some call sign (KJLA-DT1.us) as ids and alphanumeric names as ids (Mychannel.us)?
It's to differentiate the origin of the broadcast from the content. Call signs usually come from physical stations in the country of origin and their programming is subject to change. If the channel is not from a television station, the brand name will be used.
An example of a call sign used as id is KJLA-DT1.us: [KJLA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KJLA) is a digital television station, DT is a suffix, 1 is a subchannel number and ".us" is the country code (United States). This station broadcasts the Visión Latina channel, whose id is VisionLatina.us.
There are websites to consult the location and characteristics of the station. For example, [FCCData](https://fccdata.org/) for US, Canada, Mexico UK, Austrailia and Japan.
Because the stream does not have enough information available. If you know, let us know its official name, the language it broadcasts and the country where it originates.
A "daily update" is maintenance to check the status of the playlist operation, as well as to hide streams from the playlist if they have access problems.
