You know the type. Forensic files, Alaska survival, family guy reruns, etc. Its one of my guilty pleasures is watching hotel tv ha!
There are many m3u8 playlists online. You just need a player. I think VLC is the most common but people use other players specifically for iptv. For example I use simple iptv in Kodi.
Unfortunately most playlists have lots of dead channels. There are online channel checkers but they’re pretty slow. Once you get a solid lineup of working channels, it’s smooth sailing.
They have a crapload of these channels on Pluto TV - which is completely free.
Feels like they’ve been adding more ads, but still they have a ton of stuff, the movie selection is far better than most services particularly if you like not so new movies.
Get an iptv subscription and just watch cable. As a bonus you can watch tv in Costa Rica and Dubai and China and shit
Or better yet. Get an iptv plater (aka VLC), find some channels, and don’t pay for a subscription.
Hey Costa Rica is not shit!
None of them are shit (well Dubai is).
Last time I was in Costa Rica I enjoyed myself quite a lot actually.
Here is a picture of quepos
I like the sign, like Mother Nature is out to kill your ass, but only beyond this point. Haha
Feel like this is one of those weird generational things, but isn’t happy hotel TV just regular cable TV?
Many of the free tier streaming services are packed with this content. Tubi, Roku, Plex Movies & TV, Google TV.
An antenna? If you don’t have a TV, you can get a tuner dongle and antenna for your PC and use VLC or other streaming video clients. Unfortunately, the services that take over-the-air signals and put them online usually get killed off by lawsuits. But tuner dongles and half decent, compact antennas are pretty cheap.
If you live in a 100% ATSC 3.0 area in the US, no normal TV can decode the signal and you need to buy a $200 always online GoogleTV device that spies on you, and it still won’t reliably work. There’s a github of IPTV channels in playlists that’s updated frequently and has most cable channels available from US IPs with probably 70+% uptime.
Considering the community this is posted in, I think it’s fair to mention (if maybe not directly link to) there are devices that decode DRM and other encoding and pass on a stream that can be watched without needing all of that. The ones I saw were under $100. Though it’s definitely possible that these may get cracked down on eventually either by customs or changes in the DRM that requires internet connectivity to decode which has been discussed though seems dumb to need internet to watch a broadcast signal, but greed often causes stupid things like that.

Not exactly current, but as recent as 2009Sounds like normal UK freeview terrestrial TV. I think there are freeview streaming sites and apps if you search.
