Kenya:
- NTV Kenya: nation.africa/kenya/tv/live 404s. Their live simulcast is on
the station's own official YouTube channel (linked from ntvkenya.co.ke
itself); confirmed actually live at verification time (canonical URL
resolved to a /watch?v= page, not the channel page).
Cyprus:
- Kibris TV: the shared sc-kuzeykibrissmarttv.ercdn.net CDN is gone
(DNS NXDOMAIN) for all 6 TRNC channels in this section. Found Kibris
TV's current feed via a Northern Cyprus web-TV aggregator
(old.kuzeykibris.tv), a real rolling HLS media playlist. Verified
alive via check_channels.py (3/3 ok).
- TV 2020: same dead CDN. Its official YouTube channel is confirmed
live now. BRT 1, BRT 2, and Kibris Genc TV/Kanal T were also
researched, but their YouTube channels were NOT live at verification
time (canonical stayed on the channel page) - left unchanged rather
than adding an unreliable "channel not live" link.
Argentina:
- Telefe: the old telefe.com API endpoint is deprecated (redirects to
mitelefe.com, whose live-stream URL is now fetched client-side by JS
and not extractable via curl). Replaced with a verified-alive
third-party restream, the same pattern already used for other
channels in this file (e.g. El Nueve's raw-IP entry). Flagged here
as a fallback, not an official source.
- Aunar, Cine.AR, Tec TV, DeporTV: researched, all confirmed genuinely
dead at their own official infrastructure (squatted/parked domains,
VOD-only platforms, abandoned servers) with no live YouTube
simulcast either - left unchanged, no fix available.
Regenerated playlist.m3u8 and the per-country playlists via
make_playlist.py.

Issue #483: these circled-letter suffixes are in-list markers for
human readers (subscription-required, geo-blocked, YouTube-sourced,
etc.), but were leaking into the generated tvg-name verbatim (e.g.
tvg-name="Rai 1 Ⓖ"), breaking EPG matching for any provider keying
off channel name. Now stripped from tvg-name only; the display name
after the comma still shows the marker as before.
Add ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes via tvg-country attribute
to all #EXTINF lines, enabling IPTV players to filter and display
channels by country.
