What is printed here is the spine of the list rather than all of it. The full line-up runs several times longer and is organized the same way, so searching beats scrolling by a wide margin. Type three or four letters and everything that does not match disappears.
Check your own channels before you pay for the rest
A headline number tells you nothing about your own evening. The question worth settling is whether the handful of channels you would genuinely miss are carried, and that takes about five minutes.
- Write down the channels you would be annoyed to lose. Most households arrive at somewhere between fifteen and thirty names.
- Put each one into the box below. Part of a name is enough. Typing bein brings back every beIN feed; typing sky sp brings back the Sky Sports tier.
- Send us whatever did not appear. One WhatsApp message with the names in it. You get a plain answer against each one before any money has changed hands.

If something you watch is not on the list
Say so before you subscribe rather than after. Send the names on WhatsApp and one of three answers comes back. It is carried, and sitting in a group you had not opened. Or it is not in your categories yet but exists upstream, in which case it is usually added within the day. Or we do not carry it, and you will be told that plainly instead of being left on a maybe.
What we will not do is promise that any particular channel stays on the list forever. Nobody selling a service of this kind can promise that honestly. The 7-day money-back window exists for precisely the case where the thing you came for turns out not to be there, and nothing renews on its own at the end of a term, so a subscription you do not extend stops on its own.
Why the channel count is the least useful number on this page
25,000+ is an accurate count of the feeds sitting on the servers, and it is still close to meaningless as a reason to buy. Counts inflate on their own: one network with six regional variants counts six times, the same channel in 4K, HD and SD counts three times, and dead feeds are rarely pruned from anybody's total. Thirty channels that hold together at nine in the evening are worth more than twenty-five thousand that do not.
The films and series sitting behind the live channels
Separate from the live list is a library of 120,000+ films and complete series, sorted by genre, by year and by the platform each one first appeared on. You browse it rather than wait for it: open the category, choose something, and it starts. New titles land regularly and whole series sit together. It is not a replacement for a streaming platform and we will not claim it is, but most households find they stop paying for a second one.

The free 24-hour trial opens the same groups and the same library, with nothing held back.
Questions about the channel list
How do I find out whether one particular channel is carried?
Type its name into the box at the top of this page. Then, once you are set up, type it into the search inside your player as well, because the player holds the longer list. If it appears in neither, send the name on WhatsApp and you will get a yes or a no against it. None of that has to wait until after you have paid.
The list in my player is far longer than this page. Why?
This page carries the channels people ask for by name. Your player receives the whole set, which includes regional variants of the same network, the HD and SD copies that sit beside each main channel, and country packages that would run to several thousand lines if they were printed here. The group names are identical in both places.
Are the 4K channels in these groups, or somewhere separate?
Both. A 4K feed sits directly beside the HD copy of the same channel inside its own group, and there is also a 4K category you can browse on its own. No plan charges extra for either.
Does the list change depending on which device I sign in on?
No. Your account carries the list; the app you open it in does not. A Firestick, a Samsung television and a laptop therefore all receive the same channels. What differs is presentation. Some players handle a list this long far more comfortably than others, which is a reason to choose the player carefully and not a reason to doubt the list.
Can I make the list shorter on my own screen?
Yes, and it is worth ten minutes on the first evening. Every player can switch whole categories off and keep a short list of your own channels at the front. None of that touches the account, so if you switch off the wrong category you turn it back on in the same menu and the list is exactly as it was.
A channel that used to work has stopped. What happens then?
Send the channel name and roughly when you last watched it. A feed dropping out is almost always upstream of us and almost always back the same day. If it has gone for good we will say so, rather than leave a dead line sitting in your list.
