You connect your own legally obtained M3U playlist or Xtream Codes source, and TeeVee plays that content. WHAT TEEVEE ADDS • Full program guide (EPG) — browse by category, see what's on now and next • Movies & series library with artwork, search, and season/episode browsing • Resume playback — pick up where you left off, synced across your devices • Favorites, parental PIN lock, and per-category organization • Fast search across all content • Multi-view — watch multiple channels at once • Offline downloads for on-the-go viewing • Optional cloud sync so your connected sources follow you across devices There is no bundled content, no channel lineup, and no affiliation with any broadcaster or content provider.
