So if you know how to add M3U8's to an IPTV player, there are a few hundred free TV channels you can get.
Some news channels, documentary, crap like game show, sport (women's beach volleyball), comedy etc. There's even a dedicated Space 1999 channel
I wouldn't say they are all go-to channels, but hey they're free and you might find something you like.
Just add the M3U8's from below.
https://i.mjh.nz/PlutoTV/all.m3u8
https://i.mjh.nz/SamsungTVPlus/all.m3u8
https://i.mjh.nz/Stirr/all.m3u8
https://i.mjh.nz/PBS/all.m3u8
https://i.mjh.nz/Plex/all.m3u8
For the EPG just substitute "all.xml" instead of the all.m3u8
Probably case sensitive too, although I wouldn't know as I typed them exactly as listed
