It would be better if we had more details, but assuming you are running apache, and assuming you mean that users are able to view what’s in your “tv_channels” folder directly, then this answer should help.
If you are on NginX, you could block access to that folder, and then have a backend processor, like PHP, grab and display the file directly to the user. That way only humans should be able to access the file, and only one at a time, as displayed by the page.
