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.

    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
