ChannelHop - Live TV Worldwide

ChannelHop brings together live TV that broadcasters, and the streaming services they work with, publish free on the internet. News, sports, movies, music, kids, weather and more from around the world: pick a country, language or genre, tap a channel and it plays. Channels that don't work are checked from your device and hidden automatically. No sign-up needed.

OFFICIAL STREAMS ONLY
The public iptv-org database mixes broadcasters' own streams with third-party re-broadcasts. ChannelHop lists a stream only when it comes from the channel's own website domain, an official streaming service or the broadcaster's content delivery network. Re-broadcasts and adult channels are left out.
ChannelHop does not host, record or relay video and is not affiliated with any broadcaster. Rights holders can ask for removal in Settings → For rights holders; the channel disappears from every device without an app update.

KEY FEATURES

■ Find channels fast
Filter by country, language and genre (news, sports, movies, music, kids, weather, documentary, business, travel, shopping and more), search by name, and sort by "confirmed working first", quality or name. Great for news from home, practicing a language or peeking at TV abroad.

■ Dead channels hidden automatically
ChannelHop reads each stream's index and a small piece of video to confirm it plays from your device, so region locks are judged as you see them. On Wi-Fi every channel is checked daily (about 20 KB each). Only streams that keep failing are hidden. If a channel has several streams, it switches to another; if none works, it tells you why: region-locked, refused by the server, not 24/7, or offline.

■ See where streams come from
Channel details show the source server, quality, local time and official website.

■ Favorites and history
Unlimited favorites in your own order, recently watched channels, and hiding channels you don't want. When a favorite closes and has a successor, it is replaced for you. Export and import favorites, history and reminders.

■ Now and next
Channels with a guide show the current and next program. The Guide tab lists them by country so you can see what's on now.
