IPTV EPG Guide: How to Get TV Listings for All Your Channels

The Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) transforms your IPTV setup from a simple list of channels into a full TV guide experience. With EPG, you can see what is playing right now and what is coming up, browse programme schedules hours in advance, and discover new shows. This guide explains everything about IPTV EPG setup.

What is EPG in IPTV?

EPG stands for Electronic Programme Guide. It is the TV guide that appears when you browse channels in your IPTV app, showing programme titles, descriptions, and schedules. Without EPG, your IPTV app just shows a list of channel names. With EPG enabled, it transforms into a full cable TV-style guide.

How GetLiteIPTV EPG Works

GetLiteIPTV provides EPG data automatically for subscribers. When you log in with Xtream Codes API in your IPTV app, the EPG data is fetched alongside your channel list. No manual configuration is needed. If you use M3U, you will need to enter the XMLTV EPG URL provided in your GetLiteIPTV account dashboard.

Setting Up EPG in TiviMate

TiviMate automatically fetches EPG when you add your GetLiteIPTV playlist via Xtream Codes API. The EPG refreshes every 24 hours by default. To force a refresh, go to Settings > Playlists > Your Playlist and tap Update Now. TiviMate's EPG grid supports up to 14 days of programming data.

EPG Not Showing? How to Fix It

If your EPG shows empty or incorrect data, try these fixes: refresh/reload EPG in your app settings, ensure your IPTV app is using Xtream Codes API (not M3U), check that your GetLiteIPTV subscription is active, and restart the IPTV app. EPG data takes 5-10 minutes to load fully on first setup.
