The UK is home to one of the most culturally diverse populations in the world. IPTV subscriptions reflect this by including a substantial selection of international channels alongside the standard UK line-up.
South Asian channels
South Asian content is among the most requested category for UK IPTV subscribers. Available channels typically include Pakistani news and entertainment (ARY News, Geo TV, Hum TV, Express News), Indian entertainment (Zee TV, Star Plus, Sony Entertainment Television India, Colors), Bangladeshi channels and various South Asian film and music channels.
Middle Eastern and Arabic channels
Arabic-language channels including Al Jazeera Arabic, MBC group channels (MBC 1, MBC 2, MBC Drama, MBC Masr), Rotana channels and various Lebanese, Egyptian and Gulf broadcasters are commonly available.
European channels
Popular European channels across multiple languages — Polish (TVP, Polsat, TVN), Turkish (TRT, ATV, Show TV, Star TV), Spanish (TVE, Antena 3, Telecinco), Italian (RAI group, Mediaset channels), French (TF1, France 2, France 3, M6) and others.
Caribbean and African channels
Caribbean content including Caribbean national broadcasters, entertainment and music channels. African channels from across the continent including Nigerian (NTA, Channels TV), Ghanaian and South African (SABC) programming.
How to find international channels
In IPTV Smarters or TiviMate, international channels are typically organised by country or region in the channel categories. Use the search function within your player to locate specific channel names quickly. Adding frequently watched international channels to Favourites saves time browsing through a large channel list.
Language and EPG support
EPG data is available for the most popular international channels. Coverage is more comprehensive for mainstream channels than for niche broadcasters. Where EPG is not available for a specific channel, the channel will still play the live broadcast — you just will not see programme schedule information.
