The TV guide (EPG) and catch-up are what make IPTV feel like a normal TV box. Here is how they work with Irish IPTV.
The guide lists what is on now and next on every channel that provides guide data, plus the schedule for the coming days, inside your IPTV app.
On channels with catch-up, you can open the guide, go back to a programme that has already aired and play it from the start.
Catch-up is available on the main Irish and UK channels and selected others. Channels with catch-up show a small clock or rewind icon in most apps.
The first time, the guide can take a few minutes to download. After that it updates in the background. If it is empty, refresh it in the app settings.
Many channels come in more than one quality. Pick the version that suits your screen and your broadband speed.
Ultra HD for big TVs and selected sport and films. Best on fibre broadband of 25 Mbps or more.
Full HD 1080p. Sharp on any TV and a great choice for live sport on most connections.
720p. Lighter on data and very stable on slower or busy broadband.
Standard definition backup streams for weak connections or when you are travelling.
IPTV channel lists use a few simple labels. Once you know them, finding the right version of a channel takes seconds.
Channels start with a short country label, such as IE for Ireland or UK for the United Kingdom, so the groups stay tidy.
Labels like 4K, FHD, HD and SD tell you the picture quality of that version of the channel.
Extra channels that only show content around big fixtures. Outside event times they can be blank, which is normal.
Some popular channels have a second version. If one ever stalls, switch to the other and keep watching.
A small clock or rewind symbol means you can go back in the guide and replay earlier programmes.
Press and hold, or use the menu button, to add any channel to your favourites list.
Yes. A Firestick is the most popular way to watch Irish IPTV channels in Ireland and abroad. You install an IPTV app, log in with your details and every channel group, the TV guide and catch-up appear on your TV. Our own free Firestick app keeps it simple, and setup takes about five minutes.

Irish IPTV channels work wherever you have internet. These are the places our customers watch from most, with a quick tip for each.
The most popular country for Irish expats. Evenings line up with Irish time, so live GAA and Irish news work exactly as they do at home.
Great for holiday homes and retirees on the coast. Use FHD streams if your apartment Wi-Fi is shared or slower.
Watch Irish news and replays with catch-up, and catch big matches live in the morning or afternoon local time.
Live Irish evening sport arrives early in the morning. Catch-up and the TV guide make it easy to watch at a normal hour.
Popular with Irish teachers, nurses and engineers abroad. Use a cable or strong Wi-Fi for the best results.
From France and Germany to the Netherlands and Poland, the service runs well on home broadband across Europe.
More tips for expats are in our guide to watching Irish TV abroad.
