Hi I live in New Zealand and can only get a limited amount of Satellite non HD channels , there are legal Live stream from the public broadcast in HD that I would be able to watch over broadband. I have tried the plugins and apps like Xteve, they are a bit flaky and I am a bit uneasy about using them. Could we Please have someway to just configure it with m3u8 files and epg. Thank you.

A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes. > [@Support for M3U playlistss in Live TV](https://forums.plex.tv/t/support-for-m3u-playlistss-in-live-tv/232215/1): > > Many IP TV providers provide a channel list with TS streams defined in an M3U playlist, often with HLS seperation of streams to support multiple bit rates. They also use a groupid tag to place channels into a sutiable categorisation for use in the EPG TV guides. Please consider adding support for M3U as a tuner type in DVR/Live TV. I have just tried out Emby’s version of this, and it kills Plex dead in my house for live tv. Therefore this one is closed, to prevent spreading the votes across several threads, even though they vote for the same (or at least very similar thing).
