alt Hacker NewsFor a no hacks alternative, I built TV Explorer. It puts the channel's published HLS stream into your browser with no interim steps. Uses the public GitHub list of more than 10,000 free channels.

I think https://tv.garden/ has more channels than your especially if i look at Japan
This is incredible! It loaded so fast on my mobile and I’m able to watch channels from all over. Amazing stuff man. It requires a thread of its own
This as a Jellyfin plugin would be awesome!
very cool. How would have this on actual TV? Load it in the built in browser?
Just stays on the loading screen for me (Safari, iOS 26).
This is fantastic, as others have said. Could you talk a bit about how it's so wonderfully fast?
This is such a high quality TV viewing experience, I really love it! Amazing work!
That is an unbelievably slick thing that you've got there.
It feels very light-weight, it's approximately instantly-responsive. Back button works. I don't understand the stats (or my contribution to them), but whatever.
(the closed-captioning pop-up causes some overlay issues for me, though)
moar edit: Upon further review with my very not-special desktop box, I'm reasonably confident that this is the quickest, most-responsive "TV-watching" experience I've had since analog NTSC left the scene ~eons ago. It's fast like switching from channel 11 to channel 13 used to be with the very quickest and most well-behaved of tuners.
What aren't you doing that everyone else is doing?
