Copyright and removal requests

Last updated 17 August 2026

We remove first and discuss afterwards. If you are a rights holder or their representative and an entry should not be here, we will take it out of the index promptly on receiving a good-faith request. You do not need to threaten us to get a result.

Please read this first

This website stores no video. It holds a list of channel names and publicly reachable network addresses, compiled from the open-source iptv-org dataset. We do not operate the servers that transmit any stream, and removing an entry from this index does not stop the underlying server from broadcasting.

That means there are usually two useful actions, and it is worth doing both:

Tell us, and the entry disappears from this site.
Tell the upstream project through its GitHub issue tracker, so the entry is removed at the source and does not reappear on this or any other site that uses the same dataset.

We already exclude every channel on the upstream blocklist, which is how previous copyright complaints are recorded. Entries removed there stay off this site automatically at the next rebuild.

What a valid notice should include

To act quickly we need enough detail to identify the right entry. Please include:

Your name, organisation and contact details.
Identification of the work or broadcast right you own or represent.
The exact channel name as it appears on this site, and the page address or stream link if you have it. A screenshot helps.
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent or the law.
A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are authorised to act on behalf of the rights holder.
Your physical or electronic signature.

Where to send it

Use the contact page and mark your message Copyright. We aim to respond within a few business days, and in most cases the entry is removed before we reply.

Counter-notice

If you believe an entry was removed in error, send us a counter-notice with your contact details, identification of the removed entry, and a statement explaining the basis of your belief that the removal was mistaken. We will review it.

Repeat requests

Because the index is rebuilt from an upstream dataset, an entry removed only on our side can return if it is re-added upstream. If you notice a previously removed entry back in the list, tell us again and we will add it to a permanent local exclusion list as well.
