The EPG (Electronic Programme Guide) shows what is on now and next. When it is empty, shifted or wrong, here is how to fix it.

Check the EPG URL

With M3U playlists you often need a separate XMLTV EPG link from your provider. With Xtream Codes it loads automatically.

Update EPG manually

TiviMate: Settings → EPG → Update EPG. IPTV Smarters: Settings → Refresh EPG.

Fix time shift

If programmes are 1–2 hours off, set the EPG time shift (TiviMate: Settings → EPG → EPG time shift) or check your device time zone.

Increase EPG update interval and storage

Large EPG files fail on low-storage devices. Clear cache and keep only the days you need (e.g. 3 days).

Map channels to EPG

In TiviMate long-press a channel → Edit → EPG source to assign the right guide manually.
