This is just my opinion...
For the last years, I have tried a bunch of iptv services (like most of you), and 95% of them , have the same “problem” the channel list order.
Yes I'm being fussy, but when I see a whole list of countries, ones with capital letters others without capital letters, the same country in many groups because they have a bunch of channels and are divided in categories (news, kids, movies, sports...), but others with the same number of channels in one group. The adult channels (for example), instead of givin the name of XxX ( easier to find in the last position of the list) they give names like FOR ADULTS or P*RN, ( and they stay in the middle of the list group) You can also find channels named with diferent simbols on the same group, like:
[24/7] blabla bla
{24/7 } bli bli
<24/7>blu bli
What I normally do , is download the list and edited with a m3u program, but what I dont undestand, is why the people that do the list doesnt give a s**t, of taking care of their product.
Its just my opinion.
when they get these from their sources they are a mess. It takes a lot of time to Add and organize them in some semblance of order. ... most services compete with each to remain low cost, and it can easily take full time staff to keep these organized and maintained which just adds to cost of the service/product. they need someone on staff who does this Full time and they have to be a a bit OCD because it’s boring work when they are dealing with thousands of channels. Most aren’t familiar with every channel out there either and some aren’t familiar with the language, Add in other aspects a provider has to manage like reseller and customer support and you can see why many just don’t do that much with this.
