The channel-count arms race, and why we opted out
Somewhere along the way IPTV marketing turned into a numbers contest. One provider claims 50,000 channels, so the next claims 50,000, and soon someone is advertising 90,000.
Those numbers are almost entirely fictional. They are produced by counting every regional variant of the same feed, every dead link nobody has pruned, every duplicate in a different bitrate, and every test stream. A list of 60,000 entries where 40,000 fail is worse than a curated 20,000 that work.
We publish roughly 22,000 because that is roughly what exists once you remove the padding. It is a less impressive figure and a more useful one. What matters is whether the channels you personally watch are present and stable, which is a question a trial answers in ten minutes.
What you are actually paying for
The content itself is not the expensive part. Servers with real headroom at peak time are expensive. Maintaining a seven-day EPG across thousands of channels is expensive. Staffing support around the clock, in six languages, is expensive.
This is why very cheap services behave the way they do. A provider charging a couple of dollars a month is not running spare capacity for Saturday night, and it shows precisely when you most want it not to.
It is also why we do not run a premium tier. Holding sport back so we can sell an upgrade would be exactly the behaviour this page is criticising. Every plan carries the full catalogue; the price reflects term length and screen count, and nothing else.
Premium IPTV around the world
This site is published in English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, German and Arabic, and support answers in all six. That is not a translation plugin — each version is written rather than machine-converted.
It matters because IPTV is a global product sold, overwhelmingly, in English. If you are searching in French from Paris or Casablanca, in Portuguese from São Paulo or Lisbon, or in Arabic from the Gulf, you deserve more than a machine-translated checkout page.
The catalogue reflects that too. European, Latin American, North African, Middle Eastern and Asian line-ups are carried in full rather than sampled, because a service that only takes UK and US seriously is not actually worldwide.
What a premium subscription includes
50,000+ live channels across more than 60 countries and a 200,000-title film and series library, in the same app, updated continuously. 4K where the broadcaster provides it, Full HD almost everywhere else.
Seven-day catch-up and a complete electronic programme guide. Up to five simultaneous screens on one account. Instant activation, usually inside ten minutes.
Support on WhatsApp, live chat and email, 24 hours a day, in your language. No contract, no stored card and no automatic renewal — you pay once for the term you chose and decide again at the end.
