Frequently Asked Questions

Is TVTube free?

Browsing and watching available channels, films, and shows is currently free. This release does not enable paid subscriptions or charge viewers.

What is TVTube Premium?

Premium is a planned optional subscription to remove TVTube-served ads. The planned price is C$4.99 per month; subscriptions are not available to purchase yet. YouTube and broadcaster ads may still appear. Premium does not promise exclusive films, additional streaming rights or increased viewing rewards.

Do I need an account or wallet?

You can browse and watch available content without an account or wallet. An account supports channel favourites, personal playlists, and viewing history. The movie watchlist is saved on your device. Wallet verification is only part of the optional test-points beta.

Where can I find movies and shows?

Open Movies for features, independent films, documentaries, shorts, and animation, or TV Shows for available series and episodes. The Public-domain films collection focuses on reviewed archive sources. Listings identify their viewing source and may have regional restrictions. Animation describes a style, not an age rating.

Why do some directory pages have no Watch button?

The film, TV, and people directories also provide reference information. A directory entry does not mean TVTube has a playable copy. Use an available Watch button for viewing; information-only entries remain useful for credits and reference links. Trailers are previews, not full films or episodes.

Where do streams come from?

The catalogue uses third-party channel metadata and stream links. TVTube does not host the broadcasts. A listing does not guarantee availability in your location or establish commercial rights.

Why does a channel fail to play?

A broadcaster may be offline, change its stream address, restrict regions, or use a format your browser cannot play. Use Retry or return to Browse to choose another channel. We do not bypass broadcaster restrictions.

Why does the guide show a channel name instead of a programme?

Programme information needs a current feed that matches the channel. When a time slot has no programme data, a channel-name tile fills the gap. Select it to tune in. Real programme listings still open programme details; the placeholder does not invent a show or replay.

Why can a movie be unavailable?

The publisher can remove an upload, disable embedding, apply an age restriction, or limit the countries where it plays. A short playback check cannot guarantee future availability or playback in every location. Where provided, the official source link offers another way to check the publisher's viewing options.

How do privacy choices work?

You can browse without accepting optional advertising. Use the privacy controls in the footer to review or change saved choices; the Cookie Policy explains the categories. External players may need permission before they connect to their provider. Accepting the site terms is separate from consenting to optional cookies.

Are the news briefs and quiz answers sourced?

News briefs use original summaries with a named source, date, and link to the underlying report or announcement. Quiz answers include an explanation and source reference. Daily Ten rotates through the question bank; it is not ten newly reported facts every day. Quiz scores are for fun and have no token or cash value.

Can I earn or redeem VSG?

New point earning and redemption requests are temporarily paused during a security and accounting upgrade. Existing recorded balances and request history are preserved. Watching, sharing, and rating do not earn new legacy points, and no VSG payout date is promised. The opt-in Watch & Earn beta records separate, non-redeemable test points after wallet verification. Those test points have no cash value or promised later conversion.

Which playlists can I import?

Secure import currently supports HTTPS playlists on iptv-org.github.io and raw.githubusercontent.com, plus providers explicitly approved by the administrator. Imports are limited to 5 MB and up to 5,000 supported HTTPS channel entries. Saved playlists are not deleted when a provider needs review.

Can I cast or use picture-in-picture?

These controls depend on browser, device, and stream support. A stream that works locally may not work on a receiver. Normal browser playback remains the primary viewing option.

How can my company advertise?

Use the Advertise page to submit a partnership inquiry. Placement, rights, reporting, price, and availability must be agreed before a campaign starts. Submitting the form does not create a charge or launch a campaign.

How can I report a mistake or a rights concern?

Use Contact and include the TVTube page address, the title or person involved, and a supporting source where possible. For a playback issue, include your country and browser, but never send a password, wallet private key, or seed phrase. Our Editorial Policy explains the review standards.
