Opening TV Files
The TV file type is primarily associated with Enigma2.
What is a TV file
TV files mostly belong to Enigma2. TV files can serve multiple roles depending on the source.
Many of these files are used as channel list files in IPTV systems. They store details like channel names and streaming URLs for set‐top boxes running Enigma2.
They may also work as video files. For example:Television recording files used by MyTV SUPER to save TV program recordings. You can find more at MyTV SUPER. Video container files formatted with MP4, which can be played by tools like VLC Media Player. TeamViewer value files that store specific video or configuration data. Some TV files are also created by Borland Paradox to store database table views.
To open a TV file, first check its origin. Use Enigma2-based IPTV software for channel lists, standard video players for recording or MP4 containers, and the appropriate database tool for table views.
FilExt.com note: The file may be in plain text or binary form. Examining the file header with a simple text editor can help identify its true format.

How can I open a TV file?
You need a suitable software like Enigma2 to open a TV file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your TV file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a TV file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

TV file format:
To view or edit TV files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our examination of the TV files comes to the following conclusion:
The TV file extension covers different formats for different programs. The two most popular formats are as follows:
- 50% of all TV files use the same file format, which have the signature #NAME . These files are plain text, which means they can be viewed with any text editor such as Windows Editor, Nano for Linux, and TextEdit for macOS. The average file size is 22 KB with most files being between 690 bytes and 180 KB in size. The file type was developed only in the last few years. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as NAME, SERVICE 1, IPTV, http and DESCRIPTION. userbouquet.favourites.tv or bouquets.tv is a typical file name. Such TV files store data about favourites, iptv, iptvlist, stream, buket, ciefp and suls.
- 15% of all TV files start with the bytes 34 12 00 crucial for this file format. They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. The files are 3 KB to 4 KB in size, with a median of 4 KB.
All other TV files (35%) have no consistent format, often e.g. Borland. These files sometimes refer to rolloutfile or channels. Just click the "Choose your .tv file to analyze" button on this page to find out what your TV file is.
