About Lineups

SnapStream.Net lineups exist on the SnapStream website. Most of these lineups are created by SnapStream's guide data provider and simply passed through to your system. SnapStream.Net lineups have program guide data. The name and channel mapping cannot be edited through this page, you can choose to hide or show channels. See Create or Edit SnapStream.Net Lineup page for more information.

Custom Lineups are created on your SnapStream appliance by importing channels from existing SnapStream.Net lineups. This allows you to create a custom set of channels with program guide data. See Create or Edit Custom LineupNote: Custom Lineups will be listed under SnapStream.Net lineups.

Local lineups exist only on your system. They do not have guide data. See Create or Edit Local Lineup.
