17,900+ live channels is a number that means very little on its own. This page breaks it down by where the channels come from and what they carry, so you can judge whether yours are in it.
Eight markets account for most of the list. The remainder spreads across another hundred-odd countries, which is where the more unusual requests are usually met.
Around 3,000 channels: the four networks and their local affiliates, the cable news and entertainment tier, and the regional sports networks that carry individual clubs.
Roughly 500, including the terrestrial channels and their +1 variants, the subscription sports and film tiers, and the freeview-only entertainment channels.
About 400 across both official languages, with the national sports networks and the provincial broadcasters that carry regional fixtures.
Some 300 channels covering the public broadcasters, the private entertainment groups and the pay-tier sport that carries the German football.
Around 250, from the public service channels through the private nationals to the sports tier holding French football and continental football.
Roughly 500 Spanish-language channels spanning Iberian broadcasters and the major Mexican, Argentine and Colombian networks.
About 600, from the pan-Arab news and entertainment groups to the Gulf sports networks and a wide spread of regional and religious channels.
Some 400 across Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Punjabi and Malayalam, plus the cricket coverage that is the usual reason people ask.
Football from six domestic leagues plus the European competitions, the four North American majors with their regional feeds, motorsport, boxing and MMA, tennis, golf, rugby and cricket.
Dedicated film channels by era and genre — premieres, action, drama, comedy, horror, classics — running alongside the on-demand shelf rather than duplicating it.
National broadcasters and the international rolling-news channels in English, Arabic, French, German, Spanish and Russian, useful for anyone who wants a second account of a story.
The mainstream animation and pre-school channels, in several languages, with the regional variants that carry locally dubbed versions.
Music video channels by genre and decade, plus factual, history, nature and science channels from the usual documentary broadcasters.
Shopping, religious, lifestyle, regional and local channels — the long tail that a curated package removes and that a lot of people specifically miss.
A published channel count is a soft number everywhere in this industry, because timeshift variants, regional opt-outs and quality duplicates can each be counted separately or not at all. Ours counts distinct feeds, which is why it reads lower than services advertising six figures.
The second thing is that a count tells you nothing about whether the twenty channels you watch are present. That is why the trial exists and why it opens everything rather than a sample. Load it into your own player, search for your own channels, and decide from that.
