FAQs

What is EPG for IPTV?

The Electronic Program Guide (EPG) is the schedule data that shows channel names, show titles, and times inside any IPTV app. If the guide looks blank or outdated, refresh the EPG or enable automatic updates so the app fetches the latest listings.

How often should I refresh my EPG?

It’s best to refresh your EPG once a day or whenever your TV guide looks outdated. Turning on auto-updates keeps it accurate automatically.

This usually means your playlist or portal URL hasn’t synced correctly. Make sure Automation is ON and your IPTV portal link is valid and active.
