## Channels
|
||||
### Does the channel need to be publicly accessible to be included in the playlists?
|
||||
Yes, we need the links to be publicly accessible like FTA packages (free-to-air), online services or official websites. Even if the channel does not want to be broadcasted worldwide for legal reasons, we recommend using the [Geo-blocked] tag for its stream.

Note: In the daily updates, playlists of each country will be generated automatically, which will also include local and international broadcasts.

|
||||
### Can I add a FTA channel that is broadcasted in specific cities or countries?
|
||||
Yes. If the channel broadcasted in other cities or countries, please edit its entry onto the [Database](https://github.com/iptv-org/database) repository. It will be added to the corresponding playlists.
|
||||
### Can I even add channels that can only be accessed in their country of origin?
|

Yes. Even if the channel does not want to be broadcasted worldwide for legal reasons, we recommend using the [Geo-blocked] tag for its stream.

|
||||
Yes. If the channel broadcasted in other cities or countries, please edit its entry onto the [Database](https://github.com/iptv-org/database) repository. It will be updated to the corresponding playlists.
|
||||
|
||||
When setting the city where the channel is broadcasted, set its timezone is not necessary because it is not relevant.

### Can I add a FTA channel that broadcasts PPV events or pay programming?
|
||||
### Can I safely add an FTA channel that broadcasts PPV events or pay programming?
|
||||
Maybe, this may change in future answers. Consider if the country where it is broadcasted allows fair use. Owners can ban the broadcast of PPV events, and even issue a DMCA takedown. Check the [blocklist](https://github.com/iptv-org/database/blob/master/data/blocklist.csv) for more info about specific events, and this [counternotice](https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/3ce1c9402c6b7e46dcbbea6ff866d6a44e75c72a/2020/10/2020-10-08-dfl-counternotice.md) indicating that a DMCA takedown is invalid if only one FTA channel infringes copyright.
|
||||
|
||||
Please remember that by sharing a link to a FTA channel (or more), you are **indexing** the link, not **restreaming** its content. This subtility makes most of the DMCA takedowns false and invalid under law.

### Is it possible to add streams from Youtube, Dailymotion or Twitch?
|
||||
Yes. Due to technical limitations, it is necessary to add a [Streamlink](https://streamlink.github.io/) server link to view the content. This does not work with all streams, so it will give an "error" status if this stream is not freely accessible.

### Is it possible to add audio-only streams, like FM radio?
|
||||
No. Exceptions are the visual radios, in which a video and audio are shown at the same time. A WIP repository made by one member of iptv-org, [LaneSh4d0w](https://github.com/LaneSh4d0w) aims to collect radio streams, on the [IPRD](https://github.com/LaneSh4d0w/IPRD) repository.
