Your British IPTV customer looks at the guide. 8:00 PM to 8:30 PM – Show A. 8:00 PM to 8:30 PM – Show B. Same channel, same time, two shows. EPG overlap bug happens when your IPTV Reseller Panel doesn't validate schedule continuity. A IPTV Reseller Panel without EPG validation will show impossible schedules that confuse customers. Real-world example: a reseller in Abergele had British IPTV customers seeing "double booked" shows in the guide. His IPTV Reseller Panel was merging EPG sources that had slightly different schedules – one said Show A ended at 8:29, another said Show B started at 8:00. The panel didn't check for overlaps. He switched to an IPTV Reseller Panel with EPG validation – automatically detecting and flagging overlaps. He could manually choose which schedule was correct. The guide became clean. What actually works is asking about your panel's EPG validation features. Most operators find that British IPTV panels offer different levels: none (overlaps allowed), warning (overlaps flagged), or automatic repair (overlaps resolved). You want at least warning. You also need to check how your panel resolves conflicts. Does it prefer the primary source? The longer show? The one with more complete metadata? A good panel lets you set priority rules. Some British IPTV panels offer "EPG timeline view" – you can see channel schedules as a visual timeline, making overlaps obvious. That's much easier than reading tables. Honestly, the most overlap-free British IPTV reseller I knew used a single EPG source for each channel. No merging, no conflicts. He accepted that some channels had less metadata, but he never had overlaps. The pattern that keeps showing up is that EPG overlaps are a merging artifact. Multiple sources give you coverage but create conflicts. Your IPTV Reseller Panel needs to handle them. Test by merging two EPG sources with slightly different schedules. Check for 8:00-8:30 and 8:00-8:30 overlaps. If your panel shows both, your validation is inadequate. Your British IPTV customers deserve a schedule that makes sense.
