Everything below is carried on every Smart IPTV plan โ there is no tier that unlocks more of it. The list spans 120+ countries and runs from domestic terrestrial channels through regional sport to overseas feeds, sorted into categories so the remote gets you somewhere.
Channels are grouped the way you would look for them rather than in one long alphabetical run. These are the categories you will see when the list loads on your TV.
Around 500 dedicated sport channels: domestic football and the European competitions, major live sport, motorsport, boxing and MMA. Where a fixture is shown by more than one broadcaster you usually get a choice of commentary.
A separate on-demand section holding 80,000+ films and series โ recent releases, older catalogue titles, animation and box sets filed by season and episode instead of dumped in one alphabetical heap.
Rolling news from the major English-language broadcasters plus regional bulletins in a range of other languages, which is the part most useful if you have moved country and want the news from home.
The general entertainment tier โ drama, comedy, reality and chat โ including the premium networks that normally sit behind an add-on with a cable package.
A children's section covering pre-school through to older kids, kept in its own category so it is easy to hand the remote over. Most players let you PIN-lock everything else.
Music video channels and audio-only radio stations across pop, rock, dance, classical, country and a wide spread of non-English stations.
Factual and documentary channels covering natural history, science, engineering, history and true crime โ the category that tends to get the most use once the novelty of 18,000 channels wears off.
Feeds in Spanish, Arabic, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish, Hindi and the major South and East Asian languages, each filed under its own country rather than mixed into a single international bucket.
Counts below are approximate and move as broadcasters come and go. If one specific channel is the reason you are considering this, ask us before you pay โ we will tell you honestly whether it is on the list.
Around 3,000 US feeds โ the four big networks, the cable tier, and the regional sports networks that actually carry your team's ordinary weeknight games.
Roughly 500 British channels: the terrestrial five, the Sky sports and cinema tiers, and the freeview-style entertainment channels that sit behind them.
About 400 Canadian feeds in both official languages, including the national broadcasters and the two sports networks that split the hockey season between them.
Some 300 German-language channels covering the public broadcasters, the commercial networks and the sports rights holders that carry the German football.
Around 250 French channels โ the national terrestrial networks plus the subscription sports and cinema services, useful if you want French football with French commentary.
Roughly 500 Spanish-language feeds, split between Spain itself and the Latin American broadcasters, so you can pick the accent and the football you actually follow.
The largest single-language block we carry at around 600 channels, spanning the Gulf networks, North African state broadcasters and the regional sports rights holders.
About 400 Indian channels, and importantly not only the Hindi ones โ Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Bengali and Kannada each have their own set.
Around 200 Turkish channels covering the state broadcaster, the main commercial networks and the Sรผper Lig rights holder.
Some 200 Italian feeds โ the public service channels, the commercial group and the two services that between them carry Italian football.
About 300 Brazilian channels, including the open-broadcast networks and the sports channels carrying the Brasileirรฃo and the state championships.
Around 150 Philippine channels covering the main entertainment and news networks, one of the most-requested sets from subscribers living abroad.
