Every stream you load is one you supply, from a source you have a legal right to access. If you don't have a provider, the Quick Add rail offers a few free public-broadcast playlists (NASA TV, France 24, DW News, Al Jazeera English, and more) from the open iptv-org catalog.

Both are free to download. Lit IPTV Player sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Streamly sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
