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.
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.
### I wish created my channel and add it to this playlist. What should I do?
We are a community initiative and you don't need to pay anything to stay on this playlist. Feel free to create a channel with few resources: Camera, a video editor, a recording and broadcasting app with RTMP support (like OBS) and a live streaming service with multibitrate. Then, add the channel information from database.
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.
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.
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.
