IPTV EPG (TV Guide) Explained (UK 2026)

The EPG turns a raw channel list into a proper TV experience — what's on now and next across every channel. Here is what it does and how to get the most from it.

What the EPG gives you

• A full now-and-next programme guide across channels.
• Easy browsing by time and channel.
• A gateway to catch-up on supported channels.
• Reminders and quick jumping to live programmes.

Why it matters

Without an EPG you just have a list of channel names. With one, IPTV feels like familiar TV — you can see what's coming up and plan your evening.

Keep it accurate

Set your device to UK/London time so programmes line up, and refresh the EPG if it ever looks blank or out of date.

Frequently asked questions
