What is an EPG Checker?

An Electronic Program Guide (EPG) is essential for a complete IPTV experience, providing you with a schedule of current and upcoming television broadcasts. Most IPTV providers supply this data in the XMLTV format, which links directly to your M3U playlist via TVG-IDs. However, broken or incorrectly formatted EPG URLs are extremely common and can leave your player with missing TV guides.

Our free online EPG Checker tool allows you to instantly validate any XML or GZ-compressed XMLTV URL. It downloads and parses the file directly in your browser to verify that it contains properly formatted XMLTV markup. The tool will check the syntax, confirm that the file is reachable, and count the total number of channels and program entries available in the guide. Use this tool to troubleshoot missing guide data and ensure your EPG links are fully functional before adding them to your IPTV player setup.
