What is an M3U Playlist?
An M3U playlist is a compiled list of links to media that can be streamed from online sources.
An IPTV player will be needed to watch the content with many good free options.
How To Use an M3U playlist
An M3U playlist link will need to be added to an IPTV player such as VLC Media Player, TiviMate, IPTV Smarters and many more.
There are dedicated players for devices such as Android, PC/Desktop, and iOS (iPhone/iPad).
Dedicated players for Kodi are also very popular such as PVR IPTV Simple Client.

Whichever player is used, once a M3U URL is added the same content can be watched on any device.

thnx 70% is working on vlc and the formuler z12 ultra,keep up the good work
None of the link works other than LG. If LG is working, you certainly know how to set the others right. Please do so.
Which IPTV player are you using? I just checked and the links listed are working.
Been using Free-TV for month, no buffering so far, its the goat
Thanks for list numer 3 not working, TheTVApp M3U Playlist URL
Thanks for the info. I just tested it, and it is back up. The TVApp does go down more than others, so I moved it to the bottom of the list.
