Best free EPG source for UK + US channels?

by med S · 6/14/2026

Looking for a reliable free XMLTV EPG covering UK + US channels in one feed. Here's what I've tested in 2026: ## Recommended free sources - **epgshare01** (github) — community-maintained, UK + US + most EU. Usually 7-day guide. Stable. - **iptv-org/epg** — open-source, you can self-host or use their public mirrors. - **rytec.epg** — clean UK channel coverage with logos. ## Tips 1. Use the **gzipped** URL (`.xml.gz`) to reduce parse time on Firestick/MAG. 2. Match channel names exactly or use TiviMate's "Channel match" feature to map manually once. 3. Refresh interval: every 12h is plenty. More than that and you'll hit rate limits. 4. If logos are missing, point the logo URL to picons repos (tv-logo on github). Anyone got a better single-source for sports-specific guides? DAZN + TNT Sports listings are still patchy.
