A directory, not a rebroadcasting service
PocketWorld organizes metadata and public stream links by country, language and category. The original broadcaster or station remains responsible for each stream. Availability can change because of licensing, regional restrictions, maintenance or a broadcaster replacing its public URL.
Health checks, recent playback results and community reports help sort working sources ahead of broken ones. A channel is never described as globally available when the upstream stream is restricted or cannot be verified.
Finding useful local media
Open TV or radio mode, select a country on the globe, then narrow the list by region or category where metadata exists. Radio Browser and iptv-org provide broad community coverage; country totals are loaded from the current catalogs rather than fixed promotional estimates.
A directory of public streams
PocketWorld indexes public station and broadcaster streams; it does not restream or guarantee every third-party URL. Availability can change because of broadcaster maintenance, regional restrictions or browser codec support. Catalog health checks, visible source details and report controls help remove broken entries without hiding temporary outages.
Directory sources
TV metadata comes from public community directories including iptv-org; radio metadata comes from Radio Browser and other public station directories. Playback depends on each broadcaster's current public stream.
Frequently asked questions

Why does a channel sometimes stop working?
Public stream URLs can expire, move or become region-restricted. Health checks and reports are used to lower or remove broken entries.
Do I need an account?
