What do people use for free live TV these days, especially non-sports events premium channels, and especially media centre friendly m3u streams?
I looked through all my usuals, and the wiki here and none of them seemed to work. I have an epg system set up already, ideally I would plug in a steam url into my m3u playlist where the tvid for the channel is, but could not even get web streams working for premium channels.
Been using pirated TV since I was a kid. My dad used to have one of those big satellite dishes in our backyard and had a way to get premium channels free. Later he had two of the smaller satellites on the roof that required getting new keys refreshed. In between those two satellite solutions there were a few years with analog cable where there was no maintenance to keep it going, but the party ended when they switched to digital.
https://thetvapp.to/ is probably the best you’re going to find for free.
All the best IPTV services cost money and are hidden away, usually with just a private Discord or Telegram. The one I use is around $40/year but they’re not taking new customers (they’ve been closed to new customers for 3 or 4 years now).
There’s some well-known services you can find via Google, like Apollo TV, but they’re usually overpriced and just resell streams from a cheaper provider.
I tried thetvapp.to on a few devices recently and couldn’t get it working and previously found it struggled with big sport events, it was one of my go to’s. Is it working still on your end?
