TIPS
- Plex is the easiest — if you already use Plex, live TV just appears there too. No extra apps needed.
- Channels sometimes go down — these are free public streams. If a channel isn't working, try again later or try a different source.
- BBC channels are the most reliable — they use BBC's own CDN and rarely go offline.
- No RTE? — RTE blocks third-party streaming. Use the RTE Player app directly for now. We're working on it.
- Want a channel added? Text Brodawg. If a stream exists, he'll add it.
