## What it is
A curated collection of M3U playlists for free, publicly available TV channels from around the world, organized by country. It is primarily a data artifact (playlist files) maintained with Python tooling rather than an application itself.

## Use cases
- load free TV channel playlists into VLC or IPTV players
- watch over-the-air free channels from different countries
- find m3u links for live TV streaming
- set up an IPTV player with international channels
- aggregate free legal TV streams by region

## When to choose
- you need ready-made M3U playlists for a media player like VLC, Kodi, or TiviMate
- you want free, legally available over-the-air channels organized by country

## When to avoid
- you want a player app or GUI - this only provides playlist data
- you expect premium or paid channel streams
- you need guaranteed channel availability, since free streams change frequently

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: streaming, developer-tools
- domain: media, entertainment
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: iptv, m3u-playlist, free-tv, live-tv, playlist-collection
