A channel count on its own tells you very little — plenty of services pad theirs with duplicates and streams that have not worked in months. So here is the honest shape of ours: roughly a thousand UK and Irish channels, the major European and North American line-ups, and a long international tail that takes the total past 18,500 across 120+ countries. Dead streams get removed rather than left in to keep a number up.
The guide groups channels by category before country, because that is how most people look for something to watch on a weeknight. Every category below is on every plan.
The domestic football tiers, European club football nights, motor racing weekends, Test and T20 cricket, PDC darts, boxing and MMA cards, plus the American leagues for anyone who stays up for them. Around 500 dedicated sports channels.
65,000+ titles on demand, sitting in the same app as live TV. Recent cinema releases, older catalogue films, complete drama series kept whole rather than part-uploaded, and a decent anime section.
The UK rolling-news channels alongside the main international ones, plus regional bulletins from Europe, the Middle East, South Asia and the Americas. Useful if you want a second angle on a story.
The general-entertainment tiers, premium drama channels, panel shows, soaps and the reality output. This is the block most households leave on by default in the evening.
Dozens of children's channels split by age band, from pre-school through to older kids. Parental controls can hide everything outside this group so a child cannot wander into the rest of the list.
Music video channels by genre plus a large block of radio stations, which is handy on a smart speaker or in the background. Covers pop through to classical, jazz, dance and country.
Natural history, engineering, true crime, history and science strands, including the long-running factual channels and a fair amount of archive material you will not find on catch-up.
120+ countries in the original language — South Asian, Arabic, Turkish, Polish, Portuguese, Filipino and East Asian blocks are all substantial, which matters if home telly is part of why you are here.
These are the twelve largest blocks by channel count. The remaining 100-odd countries are smaller but present, and the full list is searchable inside the app once you are set up.
900+ channels covering terrestrial, the sports and film tiers, shopping, kids and the regional variants of the main networks.
120+ Irish channels including the national broadcasters and the Irish feeds of the bigger entertainment networks.
2,800+ US channels — the national networks, cable entertainment, the regional sports networks and a wide spread of local affiliates.
400+ Canadian channels across the English and French-language networks, plus the main Canadian sports broadcasters.
450+ Spanish-language channels from Spain and across Latin America, including the main football and general-entertainment tiers.
320+ German channels covering the public broadcasters, the commercial networks and German sports coverage.
260+ French channels including the terrestrial networks, premium film and the French sports broadcasters.
210+ Italian channels spanning the public and commercial networks plus Italian football and other Italian sport.
380+ Indian channels in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Bengali, Punjabi and Kannada, including news and cricket.
140+ Pakistani channels covering news, drama, religious programming and cricket coverage.
520+ Arabic channels from across the Gulf, the Levant and North Africa, including the major sports and drama networks.
190+ Turkish channels including the national broadcasters, the drama networks and Turkish football.
The comparison worth making is against what you are probably paying now. Figures for the other two columns are typical ranges rather than any one provider, and prices are in US dollars to match our own.
