## What it is
VsTV is a lightweight (under 5MB) Android live TV application for smart TVs, TV boxes, tablets, and phones, supporting M3U/TXT subscription playlists, EPG guides, UDP/RTP multicast IPTV streams, multi-source merging, and up to 7-day catchup playback. It provides no content itself and is optimized for remote controls and low-end hardware.

## Use cases
- watch live TV channels on an Android TV box or smart TV
- play IPTV multicast udp/rtp streams without a proxy
- merge multiple M3U subscription sources into one channel list
- set up a simple channel mode for elderly family members
- rewatch programs from the past week with catchup
- configure a TV app remotely via a web page

## When to choose
- you have your own legally licensed M3U or multicast IPTV sources
- you run a low-end Android box and need a fast, tiny player
- you need native UDP/RTP multicast support without udpproxy
- you want EPG, catchup, and multi-line channel switching in one app

## When to avoid
- you expect built-in channels or content - none are provided
- you need iOS or non-Android devices
- you want a player without manual source configuration
