How these IPTV guides get made
14 guides, a channel list and a cost calculator, published by EyePTV Live under the company’s name rather than a byline. This page is what stands in for that byline: the method, the things we refuse to say, and how to tell us we got something wrong.
Short answer
Who writes EyePTV's guides, and how are they checked?
EyePTV’s guides are published by EyePTV Live as company work rather than under individual bylines, and every claim in them is checked against a published ledger before it ships. Three automated gates run on every change: one rejects any claim the business cannot substantiate, one rejects a page that has fallen out of the internal link graph, and one rejects a business address or profile link that disagrees with the source of truth. Where a guide states a fact about a third-party product, it says how to verify it on the vendor’s own listing rather than asking you to trust our copy.
The rules
Six rules, all of them checkable
Each of these is either enforced by a build step or recorded in a document you can read. None of them is a statement of intent.
We publish the limits alongside the pitch
Regional sports blackouts apply here exactly as they do on cable. Local affiliate coverage varies market by market. Roku needs screen mirroring because Roku permits nothing else. These sit on the marketing pages, not in the small print, because a constraint you discover after paying costs more than the sale it would have lost.
A number we cannot audit does not get published
In September 2026 we removed a five-figure channel-count headline and an unaudited uptime percentage from this site. Both were inherited, neither was verified by anyone here, and an unauditable channel count is the single loudest warning sign in this category — we were making the exact claim our own buying guide tells readers to distrust. What replaced them is countable: 231 US networks, 97 of them written out by name.
Claims are enforced by the build, not by good intentions
Every published promise is tracked in a ledger, and a CI job fetches all 38 published surfaces on every push and fails the build if a claim we cannot substantiate reappears. That job exists because the ledger alone did not work: it recorded a chat widget we had never installed as not-claimed, while three pages advertised one for three weeks.
Guides are written to be useful when the answer is not us
Our comparison with Hulu + Live TV names the households that should pick Hulu. The free-trial guide explains why we do not run one. The player-apps guide recommends generic apps over native ones where they genuinely win. A guide that cannot reach an unflattering conclusion is advertising with headings.
We do not name and rate competitors
Comparison tables here describe categories of provider, not named businesses. Rating a named third party on your own commercial page is a defamation exposure and a structured-data violation at the same time, and the practice is why so many 'best IPTV 2026' lists disagree about who is first.
Dates say what actually happened
Published and updated dates come from the content data itself and appear in both the visible page and its structured data, so they cannot drift apart. We do not refresh a date to look current. If a guide has not needed changing, its date stays where it is.
Corrections
If something on this site is wrong — a channel that is not in the lineup, a setup step that no longer matches the app, a price that does not match checkout — email support@eyeptv.live with the page and what you found. Factual errors get fixed and the page’s updated date moves; we do not quietly edit and backdate. If the error was material, the correction is noted on the page itself.
