EPG: Electronic Programme Guide for Live TV Channels
Turn your XMLTV feed into a clean programme guide on web, mobile and TV, so viewers know what is on now and next.
A Channel Without a Schedule Is Just a Stream
The Vodlix EPG, or electronic program guide, gives every live channel a readable schedule on web, mobile and TV. Linear television works because viewers know what is coming; without a schedule, a channel is a black box that gives no reason to tune in or return. The guide shows what is on now, what is next and what to come back for. For IPTV and live TV operators, an EPG is what turns a stream into a channel.
Always know what is on.
Laid out for a directional pad.
Publish once, appears everywhere.
A Programme Guide Designed for the Remote Control
The Vodlix EPG is designed for the remote control. A day strip sits on the left, the program list in the middle and channels docked on the right, with a live preview playing in the corner so viewers never lose sight of what is on. Every element responds to a directional pad, and focus is always visible. A guide built for the television, rather than shrunk from a web page, is what makes it usable from the sofa.
One Guide, Published to Every Screen
Publish the schedule once in Vodlix and it appears on every screen. Channel search and genre filters help viewers find what is on across a large lineup, and catch up keeps recently aired programs a click away where nDVR is enabled. The same guide data serves web, mobile and TV, so viewers get a consistent experience wherever they browse. One guide, maintained once, covers the whole service.
Set Up the EPG With a Feed URL
Setting up the Vodlix EPG is a matter of pasting your guide feed URL next to the stream and DVR URLs when adding a live channel. Vodlix reads the XMLTV feed and turns it into a browsable, formatted guide automatically, with program titles, times and descriptions. Updates to the feed flow into the guide without manual editing. Feed based setup means the schedule stays accurate with no ongoing work from your team.
Where a Channel Gets Its Schedule
A channel and its guide are configured together rather than in separate places. The same screen that carries the stream also takes the EPG feed, so switching a guide on is a field rather than a project, and a channel that changes provider keeps its listings without anything else being touched.
Schedules That Earn Their Keep
A guide is prime real estate. It is the one screen where a viewer is actively choosing what to watch next, which makes it the best place you have to promote a premiere, surface a sponsored slot or nudge someone toward an upgrade. Vodlix connects the guide to your monetization models, so the same programme can sit behind a subscription tier for one viewer and open into a stream paid for by advertising for another. Meanwhile reports and analytics show which slots actually pull an audience, so next quarter's schedule gets built on numbers instead of instinct.
