Add a TV guide to your playlist.

With an Xtream Codes login.

Nothing to do

Lumen·TV asks the same server for its guide, at xmltv.php, with your username and password. Fill in XMLTV EPG URL (optional) only if your provider publishes the guide somewhere else. Signing in with Xtream Codes, step by step.

With an M3U playlist.

An M3U link carries the channels, not the guide, and Lumen·TV does not read a guide address written inside the playlist file itself. Ask your provider for the XMLTV address, usually published beside the playlist link, then send both together.

1. 01On the TV, open Settings → Playlists → Add another to show a code, and scan it with your phone.
2. 02Paste the same playlist link in Playlist address. Open Add a programme guide or a name and paste the XMLTV address in XMLTV guide · optional.
3. 03Select Send to my TV. Lumen·TV recognises the playlist it already has and adds the guide to it, rather than listing the playlist twice.
4. 04Open the guide once the file has loaded. A large guide can take a moment.

Adding it another way.

With a new playlist

Give both addresses the first time you send the playlist, in the same two fields on the phone. Adding a playlist from your phone, step by step.

With the remote

The M3U / M3U8 tab of the fields on the TV has the same field, XMLTV EPG URL (optional), under the playlist address.

If the guide stays empty.

The playlist has no guide address

An M3U needs the XMLTV address given to it, as above. An Xtream login never does.

The guide loads but holds no programmes

The address may point at the playlist rather than at an XMLTV guide. Check it with your provider.

Programmes, but none for these channels

The guide and the playlist have to name their channels the same way, by tvg-id. When they do not, nothing can be matched, and only your provider can fix the pair.

The times are shifted

If the guide loads but the times are shifted, your provider is publishing in a different timezone. The app has no guide time offset to correct it.

How many days

As many as your provider publishes, up to seven. You page through them half an hour or a day at a time.

One source per playlist

Several sources merged into one guide are not part of the app, and neither are guide reminders.
