01A directory built around location
Live television is organised into country and regional catalogues so visitors can move from a broad search to a relevant local lineup. Country totals represent searchable listings and may include regional versions or alternate sources.
The directory is refreshed from the active service catalogue. Individual channels, schedules, picture quality and catch-up support can change, so the finder is the most useful place to confirm current availability.
- National and regional television
- News and factual channels
- Family and entertainment categories
- Sport and event listings
02Understand the quality labels
Where the source supplies quality information, the catalogue may identify HD, Full HD or 4K variants. The delivered result still depends on the original feed, player, screen and available bandwidth.
EPG and catch-up are source-dependent features. A listing appearing in the directory does not mean that every optional feature is available for that channel.
03Test the channels that matter to you
Use the 24-hour test period to check a representative mix of local channels, peak-time programmes and live sport on your normal internet connection. Testing at the times you usually watch gives a more useful result than checking a single channel for a few minutes.
