## What it is
dizqueTV is a self-hosted web application that creates simulated live TV channels from media on your Plex servers. It exposes channels via a spoofed HDHomeRun tuner or an M3U playlist URL, with XMLTV guide data, playable in Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, or any IPTV player.

## Use cases
- create live TV channels from my Plex library
- simulate a cable TV experience from my own media
- add custom channels to Plex via HDHomerun tuner
- generate an M3U playlist with EPG guide data for IPTV players
- play my media as continuous TV channels in Jellyfin or Emby
- schedule filler content and commercials between programs
- run a self-hosted pseudo-TV server in Docker

## When to choose
- you have media on Plex servers and want to present it as live TV channels
- you want HDHomeRun tuner spoofing plus M3U/XMLTV output for maximum client compatibility
- you want a web UI to schedule channels, programs, and filler content
- you want a Docker image or prebuilt binaries for Windows, Linux, and Mac

## When to avoid
- your media is not on Plex (dizqueTV pulls from Plex servers)
- you need automatic syncing when your Plex library changes, since media must be manually re-added
- you want to play channels in Plex without a Plex Pass
- you need real broadcast TV tuning rather than simulated channels
