Catalogue
What You Can Watch on TREX IPTV
What the catalogue covers, what quality to expect on your hardware, and why we will not print a channel list we cannot stand behind.
Read this before the numbers. We are not going to list broadcaster names, league names or film titles as marketing. TREX IPTV supplies a player and a subscription line and holds no distribution rights it can show you, so naming them would be a claim we cannot stand behind. If you need one specific channel, ask us before you buy and we will tell you plainly whether it is carried.
What the catalogue covers
| Category | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| Live channels | More than 20,000 entries across general entertainment, news, sport, film, documentary, music, religious and children’s programming. |
| On demand | More than 150,000 films and series episodes, browsable by category rather than as one flat list. |
| Regions | Channels grouped by country of origin, so you can pull up a single market rather than scrolling everything. |
| Quality | SD through to 4K, at whatever the source carries. 4K is H.265/HEVC and needs a device that decodes it in hardware. |
Why we do not publish a full channel list
Two honest reasons. First, a static list on a web page goes out of date within days — channels are added, renamed and removed constantly, and a stale list is worse than none. Second, publishing a list of broadcaster names as a sales pitch is exactly the claim we are not in a position to make.
The live list inside the app is always current. The 24-hour trial is the way to see it — you get the same catalogue a paid line does, so you can look for the specific things you care about before spending anything.
Quality: what to expect
| Stream | Codec | Your device needs | Bandwidth |
|---|---|---|---|
| SD | H.264 | Anything | 1–2 Mbps |
| HD 720p / 1080p | H.264 | Anything from the last decade | 3–8 Mbps |
| 4K | H.265 / HEVC | Hardware HEVC decoding | 15–25 Mbps |
If 4K channels stutter while HD is smooth, your device is decoding in software — see hardware versus software decoding. Bandwidth figures are per simultaneous stream; the full explanation is in how much speed HD and 4K need.
Guide and catch-up
Programme data arrives with the line. On an Xtream Codes login it comes automatically; on a flat M3U you add a separate EPG URL. Catch-up, where a channel supports it, is addressed by programme, which is why it needs guide data to work at all — see catch-up TV and, if the guide is blank, EPG not loading.
TREX IPTV channel list: how to check what you need
When comparing a TREX IPTV subscription, start with the programmes, languages and devices you actually use. A large catalogue count does not tell you whether a particular channel is available today, whether its guide is complete, or how it plays on your connection. Use the trial to inspect the list inside your player, then ask support about anything you cannot find before ordering.
Search the list and check playback separately
- Open the live-TV section and select the relevant country or language group.
- Search for the channel in the player. Check alternative spellings and grouped categories before assuming it is missing.
- Open the stream and test sound, picture and channel switching. A name in the list is not proof of working playback.
- Repeat the check at your normal viewing time. Record the device, app and time if something fails.
TREX IPTV EPG and catch-up
The electronic programme guide, or EPG, supplies programme names and schedules; it is separate from the video stream. A channel can play while its guide is empty. Check your device clock and time zone, refresh the guide in the player, and allow the refresh to finish. Catch-up also depends on the individual channel and player, so an EPG entry alone does not promise replay availability. Read the catch-up guide before relying on a programme being available later.
For an M3U setup, follow the playlist guide and use only the details supplied for your account. Keep playlist and guide URLs private when they contain credentials.
