What Is LiveTV?
LiveTV is a directory of publicly available FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV) channels - a guide that helps viewers discover legitimate, ad-supported broadcasters already streaming openly on the web. We do not operate a streaming service. We index and organize links to channels that are already public, the same way a program guide organizes what's on cable.
LiveTV has tracked the FAST landscape since its early growth and now covers 1,000+ channels across news, sports, entertainment, and regional programming worldwide.
What We Do (and What We Don't)
LiveTV is an aggregator, not a broadcaster. We collect, verify, and organize links to channels that stream through official or publicly embeddable sources - we do not host, capture, re-encode, or store any video content on our own servers.
How channels reach our directory
- Public embed sources: official players or embeds provided by the broadcaster itself, or distributed through recognized platforms (YouTube, Twitch, and similar), used in line with each platform's Terms of Service.
- Direct links: where no embed is available, we link out to the broadcaster's own official stream or website.
- Broadcaster-submitted listings: channels can request inclusion directly via Submit a Channel; we verify the source before listing it.
What we don't do
- We do not stream, re-transmit, or proxy video from our own infrastructure.
- We do not list unofficial, pirated, or unauthorized pay-TV feeds.
- We do not alter, re-encode, or repackage any broadcaster's stream - playback always occurs through the original source's player.
- We do not claim ownership of any channel, network, or program listed.
Every stream on LiveTV remains under the full editorial and technical control of the broadcaster that publishes it.
Editorial Standards
LiveTV's listings are curated and maintained by a dedicated team with hands-on experience tracking the FAST industry - channel launches, shutdowns, rebrands, and regional availability change constantly, and our listings are checked and updated to reflect that. Our full approval criteria and verification process are detailed in our Editorial & Channel Verification Guidelines.
- Experience: we actively monitor and test channel availability rather than relying on static, outdated lists.
- Expertise: each channel page includes accurate context - genre, region, language, and broadcaster - sourced from the broadcaster's own official information.
- Accountability: the platform is maintained by Trieu iv, responsible for development, content accuracy, and takedown requests.
Copyright Policy & DMCA Compliance
LiveTV respects the intellectual property rights of broadcasters and content owners and operates in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and applicable international copyright law.
- All channels listed link to or embed content from sources the broadcaster itself has made publicly available.
- We do not store, cache, or serve video files from our own servers at any point.
- If a broadcaster's stream requires authentication, a paid subscription, or is not intended for open embedding, it is not eligible for listing.
Filing a Copyright Report
If you are a rights holder and believe a listing on LiveTV links to or embeds content without authorization, submit a report via Contact including:
- Identification of the copyrighted work or channel in question.
- The specific LiveTV URL where the listing appears.
- Your contact information and confirmation of your authority to act on behalf of the rights holder.
We review and act on valid reports promptly - typically removing or disabling the listing within 48 hours. Broadcasters may also request removal at any time for any reason, without needing to cite a copyright claim.
