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.
I’ve used FreeIPTV a few times. The accounts expire after 24 hours but you can make a new one every day if you want and there’s no sign up, just a click of a button. I haven’t looked through the channel line up much since I’ve only used it when there’s a specific show or event I know I wanna watch. There’s a shit load of channels though so worth checking out if you haven’t done so already.
I also found it on the Awesome IPTV repo a while ago. Might be worth checking that out as well.
Nice, this looks like a good solution that could be solved with a script. The other solution I was thinking might work but would also require a script to get per channel url updates is from iptvcat.com
