Canadian channels
This is the part of the lineup people check first, and the part many IPTV services in Canada get wrong. Ours covers the national English networks, all-news channels, lifestyle and specialty channels, and a wide spread of regional and local stations, so evening news from Vancouver, Winnipeg or Halifax is there when you want it rather than only what's broadcast from Toronto.
Networks that broadcast on different schedules across the country are carried in Eastern and Pacific versions where available. That sounds like a small detail until you live in Calgary and want to watch a show at 8 p.m. your time instead of 6.
French-language Canada
The French section is a full lineup rather than an afterthought: Québec's main networks, French news and sports channels, youth channels, series and film channels, plus regional francophone stations. It's the reason many households in Montréal, Québec City, Gatineau and Moncton use us. Our French IPTV guide goes into more detail.
American networks
The major US broadcast networks are included in several city feeds (East Coast and West Coast at minimum), along with the big cable channels for news, entertainment, lifestyle and documentaries. If you're used to watching a Detroit, Buffalo, Seattle or Boston affiliate on Canadian cable, look for those city feeds in the US section.
Sports
Sports are where we spend the most effort, because they're the least forgiving part of live TV. Categories are organised by sport and league, so on game night you go straight to the right place instead of scrolling. Coverage includes:
- Hockey: national and regional sports networks, US hockey channels and event feeds for big games.
- Football: Canadian and American football, including Sunday and Monday games and the college game.
- Basketball and baseball: national sports networks and dedicated league channels.
- Soccer: MLS, European leagues and international tournaments, in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and other languages.
- Cricket, rugby and more: dedicated channels for international cricket, rugby, tennis, golf, cycling, motorsport and combat sports.
Event feeds appear shortly before big matches and fights. If you can't find a game, support will point you to it. Our sports guide covers each league in more depth.
International TV
Canada is one of the most multilingual countries on earth, and TV from home matters. The international section is organised by region and language, including:
| Region | Languages and channel types |
|---|---|
| South Asia | Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Gujarati, Urdu, Bengali: entertainment, news, devotional and cricket |
| Middle East & North Africa | Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Kurdish: news, drama, religious and sports channels |
| Europe | Italian, Portuguese, Greek, Polish, Ukrainian, German, Spanish, Dutch and more |
| East & Southeast Asia | Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Vietnamese, Filipino (Tagalog) |
| Latin America & Caribbean | Spanish and Portuguese news, telenovelas and sports; Caribbean channels |
| Africa | Channels from West, East and Southern Africa, plus French-language African news |
On-demand movies and series
The on-demand library holds more than 200,000 titles: films from the classics to recent releases, complete seasons of series, documentaries and kids' content. Many titles are available in 4K, and a good share have multiple audio tracks or subtitles. You browse it in the same app as live TV, by category, year or search, depending on the player you use.
Is it a replacement for Netflix or Crave? For some people, yes. Others keep one streaming app for its original series and use ours for everything else. Our comparison of IPTV versus streaming apps helps you decide which subscriptions are worth keeping.
TV guide and catch-up
Apps that support it (TiviMate, IBO Player and most MAG portals, among others) show a full electronic programme guide: a grid of what's on now and next across every channel, the way a cable box does. Many channels also offer catch-up, which lets you go back and watch something that aired earlier, typically within the past few days. Catch-up availability varies by channel, and the guide shows which ones support it.
Picture quality
Channels are offered in SD, HD, full HD and 4K depending on what the source broadcasts. Many popular channels appear in more than one quality, which is handy when your connection is struggling: switch to the lighter version and keep watching. For a sense of how much bandwidth each level needs, see our internet speed guide.
Support and activation
- Around the clock: WhatsApp and email, every day, including holidays.
- Two languages: English and French.
- Activation: usually within an hour of your payment arriving, at any time of day.
- Setup help: device-specific instructions with your login, plus live help if you get stuck. See the setup guide.
- Troubleshooting: if a channel stops working, report it and we'll check it or point you to an alternative feed.
What our service doesn't include
Being clear about limits saves everyone time:
- No hardware. We don't sell or rent boxes. You use a device you already own, or buy one from any retailer.
- No recording. Downloading or recording streams isn't permitted under our terms. Use catch-up instead.
- No card billing. We accept Interac e-Transfer only.
- No guarantee on individual channels. The lineup is large and changes over time. We keep it healthy, but we can't promise any single channel will be there forever.
