The playlist includes only publicly available and legally accessible streams:
- 📡 National and local free-to-air TV channels

tvg-logo tvg-chno(LCN where applicable)
Includes full channel metadata and standard playlist structure.

Recommended for maximum compatibility with basic IPTV players and Smart TVs.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xN1ckuz/OpenIPTVItaly/refs/heads/main/OpenIPTVItaly_No_EPG.m3u Both playlists are compatible with the following IPTV players:
- VLC
- Kodi
- SSIPTV
- IPTV Smarters
- TiviMate
- OttPlayer
When available, EPG data is obtained from publicly accessible sources provided by epgshare01.online.
The EPG is used for informational purposes only and reflects standard TV scheduling data that is already publicly available.
This project does not access private APIs, restricted services, or proprietary broadcast systems.
Note: The OpenIPTVItaly_No_EPG playlist does not rely on any EPG source.
The following channels do not currently have an IPTV-compatible stream available and are included only to preserve correct LCN numbering:
- Teledue (Channel 12) (LCN-only)
Some streams may appear offline even though the source is still active.
This usually happens because stream URLs are protected by temporary access tokens generated by the content provider:
- Tokens are time-limited and expire automatically
- Direct links stop working once the token becomes invalid
- A valid token is typically generated only by official websites or players
As a result, these streams may not function in generic IPTV players.
If token-based or otherwise unstable streams are identified in the future, affected channels will be explicitly listed in this README.
All notable changes are documented in CHANGELOG.md.
Contributions are welcome and appreciated 💙
