My local channel is missing from the list

Common causes

  • Local stations sit in a group by market, not by network
  • Your market’s network is on a subchannel (for example 13.2) of another station
  • The playlist on the device has not refreshed

Work through these in order

  1. Open the group named after your TV market (the list on our local channels pages matches those names).
  2. Look up your market on IPTVMAX: the station call sign and channel number tell you exactly what to search for.
  3. Refresh the playlist in the player (in TiviMate: Settings › Playlists › Update).
  4. Search by the call sign, such as KDFW or WCVB, rather than by the network name.

Still not right?

About this fix

Why does this happen?

Usually one of these: local stations sit in a group by market, not by network; your market’s network is on a subchannel (for example 13.2) of another station; the playlist on the device has not refreshed.
