This user <https://github.com/iptv-org> just popped up in my GitHub feed. One repo <https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv> claims to be a list of links to over 8000 streaming TV channels from nations all over the world ...
Those repos are still there, and still being updated: cat streams/* | grep -c '^http' 13564 So the number of streaming links has grown by over 50% in the meantime. Of course, I found a few duds; I suppose that’s inevitable in a list this size. Among the files, there is “nz.m3u” and “nz_samsung.m3u”; the former is our local channels, including a few I don’t see in my Freeview list, such as links for one called “WairarapaTV”, all of which seem to be stuck on the same still frame. The latter is ... at a guess, streams that come with Samsung’s smart TVs? I tried a few, and they did work.
