IPTV channels: the must-have categories of a good catalogue

Sport, cinema, international, kids: here are the channel categories a complete IPTV subscription should cover, and how 6PTV answers each one.

A good IPTV channel catalogue is never limited to a single category of content: it needs to cover a wide range of needs to satisfy a whole household, from sport lovers to box-set fans to young children. Running through the must-have categories helps you assess whether a provider like 6PTV genuinely meets these varied needs.

General national channels form the foundation of any good catalogue: BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 and Sky for the UK market. 6PTV includes all these essential channels, alongside a broad choice of complementary regional and thematic channels.

Premium sport is often the category most closely scrutinised by new subscribers, in particular the Premier League, the Champions League and the major international competitions. 6PTV covers all these major sporting events, with an infrastructure sized to absorb the traffic peaks of the most eagerly awaited match nights.

Cinema and series channels naturally round out the catalogue, with a need for constant freshness to keep up with recent releases. 6PTV offers more than 220.000 VOD titles updated regularly, on top of the cinema channels broadcast live for fans of traditional scheduling.

International channels are an essential category for households with multiple origins, covering the Maghreb, Africa, Turkey, Portugal and many other regions. 6PTV offers a vast international bouquet letting every household find its home channels under a single subscription.

Kids' channels also deserve particular attention for households with children, with a need for suitable content that's regularly refreshed. 6PTV includes a selection of kids' channels and VOD within its overall catalogue, letting the whole family find something to enjoy.

Documentary and news channels round out this panorama for households looking for more informative content day to day. 6PTV also covers this category, with UK and international news channels built into the overall 6PTV catalogue.

In short, a good IPTV catalogue should cover general, sport, cinema, international, kids and news channels to satisfy a whole household. Discover all these categories on 6PTV, compare the available plans with 6PTV, and enjoy a complete catalogue with 6PTV.
