Channels in this playlist
Channel-level data is not indexed for this entry yet. The channel list appears here — names, groups, and per-channel status — after the first automated check parses the file. Until then, nothing is estimated or filled in.
To inspect the contents right now, run the IPTV test for entry counts, or preview names and groups with the M3U viewer.
About this source
Country file aggregating US-broadcast channels: strong on national feeds, sampled on locals and affiliates. Country files in this collection use ISO codes (us.m3u here), and finer subdivision and city files exist for some regions per the collection's PLAYLISTS.md.
Four mainland timezones plus Alaska, Hawaii, and territories make guide offsets the signature issue with this file. After attaching EPG, verify now/next on a live news channel against real time; whole-hour offsets mean the guide setting needs adjusting, not the playlist.
Using this file
- Search the file for your must-have callsigns before importing: national feeds are near-certain, locals are a lottery.
- After attaching EPG, verify now/next on a live news channel against real time to catch whole-hour timezone offsets on first setup.
- Keep the international index alongside: when an affiliate feed drops mid-season, the backup decides whether it matters.
How this playlist was checked
This entry has not been checked yet by XTREAM3U. No status, channel count, or availability is claimed. Use the test tool to inspect the URL response and format before relying on it.
Known limitations
- Third-party public resource. Licensing and authorization are unknown unless the source states them.
- HTTP 200 on the playlist URL does not guarantee every stream plays.
- Local coverage is sampled, not complete: affiliates and regional sports networks vary and go stale fastest.
- Four mainland timezones (plus Alaska, Hawaii, territories) make guide offsets the signature failure — verify now/next after attaching EPG.
- Preemptions mean two markets watching the same network entry can see different programming.
FAQ
Will I get my city's local channels from this file? Maybe partially. National feeds are the reliable core; locals and affiliates are sampled. Verify wanted callsigns by name search in the M3U viewer before building a setup around them.
Why does the guide show wrong times? Almost always a timezone or offset mismatch between the playlist feeds and the XMLTV source. Adjust the guide's offset setting; do not re-import the list.
Should I use this file or the international index? This file for focused daily viewing, the international index for breadth and backup. Keep both configured since independent files fail independently.
