Why are some IPTV channels in the wrong category (sports inside movies, etc.)?

Misclassified channels happen when the provider uses outdated or automated playlist grouping, mismatched XMLTV categories, or bulk imports without manual correction. Some apps read group titles incorrectly, especially if the provider uses custom naming conventions. Refresh the playlist, reset app groups, or use Xtream Codes login which provides accurate group mapping. Glanfy recommends providers with manually curated channel organization.
