IPTV Questions Channels and content
Can I watch channels from other countries on IPTV?
Does the IPTV app decide which countries you get?
No. The app is only a player, and the channels come from your subscription. That answers two common questions at once:
- "Which app shows channels from Argentina, or Thailand?" Any good IPTV player will, if your provider carries those channels. If it does not, no app can add them.
- "How do I add Tamil channels?" You do not add them one by one. They arrive with your login, inside a group for that language or region.
Some providers sell country packs as add-ons. With IPTV Nord, every international group is part of the Full Channels package, at the same price as the shorter English Channels Only list.
Which international channel groups does IPTV Nord include?
IPTV Nord includes 10 international groups. We describe them by region and language:
| Channel group | Languages |
|---|---|
| South Asian | Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, Urdu |
| Arabic and North African | Arabic |
| Chinese | Chinese |
| Filipino | Tagalog |
| Portuguese and Brazilian | Portuguese |
| Italian | Italian |
| Caribbean | English, French |
| Latin American and Spanish | Spanish |
| Persian and Turkish | Persian, Turkish |
| European | Several European languages |
Choose Full Channels when you order, because English Channels Only leaves these groups out. Our IPTV Toronto page shows how multilingual homes in the GTA use them.
How do you find a country's channels in your IPTV app?
Open the list of channel groups and pick the one for your language or region, or type a channel name into the search. Then make the list your own:
- Add favourites. Save the channels from home you watch most, so they sit together in one group. Our answer on setting favourite channels shows how in each app.
- Hide what you never watch. Some players, such as TiviMate Premium, can hide whole groups, so your guide only shows the countries you care about.
- Mind the time zones. Live channels follow their home country's clock. The morning news from Manila airs around supper time in Toronto. On channels with catch-up, you can replay a show at a better hour.
What if your country is not on the list?
Ask before you pay. Our groups cover many of the largest language communities in Canada, but not every country has its own group. Thai, Korean and Vietnamese channels, for example, do not have a separate group in our lineup.
Send the channels you want to our team in Live Chat and we check the full list for you. Then confirm it yourself with the free 24-hour trial. If a country is still missing, many national broadcasters run their own apps or websites for viewers abroad, so check the broadcaster's official site too.
Related questions people ask
Do international channels cost extra with IPTV?
It depends on the provider. Some sell country packs as paid add-ons, so ask whether the price you see covers the channels you want. With IPTV Nord, every international group is included in the Full Channels package, which costs the same as English Channels Only. The price only changes with the plan length and the number of devices.
Do international channels have a TV guide?
Most large international channels do, but guide data for smaller ones is often thin with every provider. You may see the channel name with no show listings at all. The channel still plays; you just cannot browse ahead. Check the guide for your own channels during a trial.
