Now and next
Each channel shows what is on now and what follows, with their times.
What is the EPG?
EPG stands for Electronic Program Guide. It is the schedule your subscription provider sends along with the channel list: for each channel, the title of what is on now, the start time, the end time, and what follows.
Without an EPG, an IPTV list is only a string of channel names. With one, it becomes something you can read: you see what is on before you switch.
How AICKO IPTV shows it
The guide is not banished to a separate screen. Every row of the channel list carries the current programme and the next one, with their times. You go through the list and the guide in one movement, with your thumb on mobile or with the remote arrows.
Where this information comes from
It comes entirely from your subscription, never from AICKO IPTV. The app reads what the server sends and displays it. That is why how rich the guide is depends on your provider, not on the player.
Xtream Codes gives a better guide
In Xtream Codes mode the server exposes a real guide interface, with upcoming programmes. A plain M3U playlist often carries only an optional EPG link, sometimes missing. If the guide matters to you, prefer Xtream Codes.
An empty guide is not a fault of the player: if the schedule is not sent, no app can invent it. Ask your provider whether the EPG is included in your plan.
Inside the list
No separate screen: the guide is right where you choose your channel.
Readable from the sofa
On television, the labels are sized to be read from across the room.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The questions we are asked most often about AICKO IPTV.
How do I turn the EPG on in AICKO IPTV?
There is nothing to turn on: if your subscription sends a guide, it appears automatically under each channel as soon as the catalogue loads.
Why is my programme guide empty?
Because your provider sends no EPG data, or only for some channels. The app shows what it receives; it cannot invent a schedule that is not there. Check with your provider that the EPG is included.
Does the EPG work with an M3U playlist?
Sometimes, but in a more limited way. An M3U playlist carries only an optional EPG link, often missing. Xtream Codes mode exposes a real guide interface and gives far better results.
Does the guide show the following days?
That depends on how far the schedule sent by your provider reaches. The app shows the current and next programme first, which is what you need when choosing a channel.
