EPGTalk distributes an XMLTV electronic program guide

A community maintained repository that publishes scheduled television listings for US, UK, Canada, and Mexico channels in XMLTV format.

What the guide covers

EPGTalk is an electronic program guide that publishes scheduled television listings in the XMLTV format. The README states coverage of United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Mexico channels, plus more than 140 US local markets. The listings are generated and refreshed on a nightly basis, and the project presents the guides as free to use. Because XMLTV is a standard interchange format, the output can be consumed by a wide range of IPTV and personal video recorder software.

Reported scale and history

The repository includes a statistics block that reports a combined guide of over 1,100 channels and tens of thousands of program entries per day across the regional guides, with separate counts for the US, UK, Latino or Mexico, and US local markets. The project states it has run since 2017 and is maintained by a single person. The README carries a legal use only notice and asks users to wait twenty four hours before reporting issues, on the assumption that most problems self correct on the next nightly update.

Access and licensing

The guides are delivered as XMLTV files and URLs that IPTV players can load, and a status page tracks live coverage. The repository metadata carries no explicit software license, and the content is presented as a community provided TV guide. Users should note that electronic program guide data is aggregated from many sources and that the accuracy of any individual listing depends on those upstream feeds, which the project acknowledges can be imperfect.

Editorial conclusion

EPGTalk reports coverage of more than 1,100 channels across its regional guides and states it has run since 2017. The repository metadata carries no explicit software license, and the guide data is published nightly in XMLTV format.
