TVsetup

NOTICE: Archived as of 2025-10-12 since I no longer work on this project and I am no longer interested in working on this, no longer really have time for it either as my main focus is on other repos. Thank you.

NOTICE: Freely looks close to launch, repository will likely being archived soon with the launch.

You can join the discussion about Freely here: https://github.com/ExperiencersInternational/tvsetup/discussions/25

Apologies to anyone watching from abroad, I know this is not the news you want to hear but I expect that Freely will be a better experience for all of us. I won’t personally be using the repository again after it launches (I hardly do now, mostly watch YouTube). If anyone is willing to maintain the repository with pull requests, I would be happy continuing to run this, but otherwise not.

I’d recommend looking at @dp247’s fork of Free-TV/IPTV if you haven’t already (sadly isn’t as ordered as nicely as it is here): https://github.com/dp247/IPTV/blob/master/playlists/playlist_uk.m3u8

About

A list of free-to-air, mostly available on Freeview, channels in the UK. Contains over 180 channels from TV to Radio.

Get started by adding the playlist link in your IPTV application:

https://experiencersinternational.github.io/tvsetup/config.m3u

If your application doesn’t automatically add an EPG, add this 48-hour EPG run by @dp247:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dp247/Freeview-EPG/master/epg.xml

Most channels are ordered in the Freeview style, so you’ll feel right at home. A few exceptions do apply though.

Copyright

Despite it being my best intentions not to host any copyrighted content, due to only focusing on free to air content, there may be a few things that slip through the cracks, and in those cases, please submit a copyright removal request using the issue form, and I will remove the affected content on the list. Please don’t just go and file a request to GitHub and take down the entire thing.

Please also note that I don’t host any of the content apart from the Information channel which is a looping video.

Compatibility

This should work with most applications, but some may be unable to play certain channels correctly (particularly ones using the MPD format). To set it up, follow the guides on the wiki.

Channels

Not bothering to write down everything, but this allows easy access to most popular channels. Most TV channels broadcast in 25fps (they may say 50fps, but in reality due to interlacing, it is 25).

EDIT: Some of these channels may have been removed, and I haven’t gone and removed them from the list below.

TV

This list needs to be reorganised. Thanks @dp247 for finding a ton of new working links, some of which contain subtitles as well!
