    FAQs

    How often does StreamTV update its channel list?

    The official StreamTV app auto-syncs channel lists every 24 hours and the EPG (TV guide) every 6 hours. New channels are pushed automatically — no manual M3U reload like other IPTV services.

    Do I have to reload my M3U URL when channels change?

    No — that's the old way. StreamTV uses a cloud-based system that auto-updates your channel list across all devices. Add a channel on your TV, and it appears on your phone instantly.

    What happens when a channel goes offline?

    Our system detects dead streams within hours and either swaps in a backup feed or removes the broken entry — so you never click on a dead channel.

    Does the EPG guide update automatically too?

    Yes — the full TV guide refreshes every 6 hours with accurate schedules for all 24,000 channels. Plan tonight's viewing without surprises.
