Find TV Channel Numbers by Provider and Location

TVChannelsGuide helps you find channel numbers by provider and city, so what you see matches the lineup in your area. The site is built and maintained by Manikandan, a solo developer, and currently covers 3,139 channels across the six major US TV providers (Spectrum, Xfinity, Optimum, Cox, DirecTV, and DISH) in 171 markets. Every market is researched by hand. Lineups are checked against each provider's own current sources rather than third-party aggregators, and verification continues daily as networks rebrand, providers restructure tiers, and local affiliates change channel positions.

About TVChannelsGuide

TVChannelsGuide.com helps you find TV channel numbers for cable and satellite providers across the United States. Channel numbers and package availability differ by provider and city, so the site is organized by market — you see the lineup that applies to your area, not a generic national list.

The site is independent and built by one person. It is run by Manikandan, a solo developer who has been maintaining TV channel lineup data since 2023. The current version covers the six major US TV providers (Spectrum, Xfinity, Optimum, Cox, DirecTV, and DISH) across 171 markets, with lineups checked against each provider's own sources and updates pushed as channel numbers, package tiers, and local affiliates change.
