Nordic channels on IPTV
3,188 of our 29,458 channels come from the five Nordic countries. Here is what exists in each, how the guide handles the time zones, and what to check before ordering.
The Nordic list holds 3,188 channels across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland. We do not publish a count per country, because the line-up shifts with rights. The current list is in the app and in the chat.
Swedish channels
Swedish television rests on public service from SVT and UR, the commercial TV4 group, and a wide layer of pay channels for sport and film. The Swedish part of the list follows that shape: national channels, regional variants, and the sport and film channels people ask about first.
Programmes are mostly in Swedish, with Swedish subtitles on foreign-language content.
Norwegian channels
NRK is the public broadcaster, next to TV 2 and the large commercial channel groups. Norwegian sport rights are spread across several companies, so the match you watched on one channel last season may be on another this season.
Danish channels
DR is the public broadcaster and TV 2 the biggest commercial one, with regional TV 2 stations around the country. Denmark shares a time zone with Sweden and Norway, so the guide needs no adjustment.
Finnish channels
Yle runs the public channels, including the Swedish-language Yle Teema Fem. MTV3 and Nelonen are the main commercial broadcasters. Finland is one hour ahead of Sweden, Norway and Denmark, which matters both for the guide and for kick-off times.
Icelandic channels
RÚV is the public broadcaster, and the commercial side is smaller than in the other four countries. Iceland stays on UTC+0 all year: one hour behind Stockholm in winter, two hours in summer.
Time zones and the guide
| Country | Standard time | Summer time | Compared with Stockholm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sweden | UTC+1 | UTC+2 | — |
| Norway | UTC+1 | UTC+2 | same |
| Denmark | UTC+1 | UTC+2 | same |
| Finland | UTC+2 | UTC+3 | 1 h ahead |
| Iceland | UTC+0 | UTC+0 (no change) | 1 h behind in winter, 2 h behind in summer |
Most players show the guide in the device's own time zone. If programmes look an hour out, the EPG offset in the player fixes it; the setup guide shows where to find it.
IPTV in 4K: what is actually available
Most Nordic channels are broadcast in HD by the broadcasters themselves, so HD is what reaches you too. 4K exists mainly for selected sport and film.
A 4K stream needs at least 20 Mbit/s, and the device has to decode it. Cheaper sticks play HD smoothly and stutter in 4K.
| Quality | Minimum | Recommended | Typical setup |
|---|---|---|---|
| SD 480p | 3 Mbit/s | 5 Mbit/s | Phone on 4G |
| HD 720p | 5 Mbit/s | 8 Mbit/s | Phone on 5G |
| Full HD 1080p | 8 Mbit/s | 15 Mbit/s | Smart TV |
| 4K UHD | 20 Mbit/s | 30+ Mbit/s | Fibre and a 4K TV |
Subtitles and audio
Subtitles burned into the picture always come through. Subtitles sent as a separate track depend on the channel and the player, and on some channels they are not carried at all.
Questions and answers
How many Nordic channels are included?
3,188 Nordic channels out of 29,458 in total. Every plan includes all of them.
Can you promise a specific channel?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. Rights change between seasons. Ask in the chat for the current list before paying, and check the channels you care about during the test.
Does the guide show Nordic time?
The guide follows each channel's own schedule and most players convert it to your device's time. Finland is an hour ahead of Stockholm; Iceland is an hour behind in winter and two in summer.
Is there Nordic IPTV in 4K?
For selected sport and film, yes. Most Nordic channels are broadcast in HD at source, so they arrive in HD.

The test runs for 48 hours on one screen and stops by itself. Put it over a weekend with a match on, so you test the service at its busiest.
