A British expat in Sydney wants to watch EastEnders at 7:30 PM UK time. That's 5:30 AM in Sydney. Your panel either handles that math or confuses them into leaving.
Here's the thing: millions of expats pay for British IPTV to stay connected to home. But a IPTV Reseller Panel that assumes all users are in the UK will show EPG times in local Australian time while listing UK programme names. That mismatch is maddening. Users don't want to calculate timezone differences every time they want to watch a show.
I've watched a reseller lose an expat customer in Dubai because his IPTV Reseller Panel showed all EPG times in GMT+4. The customer missed live football because he thought kickoff was 4 hours later than it actually was. A panel with per-user timezone selection would have fixed this with one setting.
What actually works is an IPTV Reseller Panel that lets each user choose their display timezone independently of their IP address. A good British IPTV panel offers this as a simple toggle in user settings. Expats can keep their EPG in UK time. Local users can keep local time. Everyone is happy.
Real scenario: A British IPTV reseller in Spain (yes, resellers can be expats too) configured his panel to default to GMT for all users, with a clear "Show times in UK time" label. His expat customers loved the clarity. He grew his expat base entirely through word-of-mouth.
That said, don't force one timezone on everyone. Your IPTV Reseller Panel should let each user choose. That's not complicated. It's just considerate.
Honestly, test your panel's timezone settings. Set a test user to GMT+8. Check if the EPG still makes sense. If you're confused, your expat users will be too.
