    This is pretty amazing. I clicked on a Luganda-language channel in Uganda and it was a concerned-looking woman being interviewed for a news segment about a "for men" testosterone supplement. Kind of heartening to see that people everywhere are the same, for better and for worse.

    Thanks. I could spend hours watching distant cultures. Their colours, environment, technical equipment… I saw some people in Somalia using DJI microphones, those that in the West are mainly used by YouTubers.

    I also see TVs that are normally subject to fees. I'm aware the FAQs say it's only public streams, but I fear this won't last long.

    Love the website design. Very neat to just drop in on a country, see what’s on. Was watching two guys in Afghanistan acting goofy in a commercial. Just fascinating.

    One of those projects that has me wondering what I was doing instead of building this. The end result is great, and the technical details seem like they'd be interesting. TIL about Internet Protocol TV: https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv

    For me the site is incredibly snappy. Amazing. As in i clicked Australia, clicked ABC TV and it all loaded in milliseconds.

    Cool project. Unfortunately I get infinite spinners on all non-Youtube videos in Firefox. Works in Chrome.

    Checks out.

    Clicked on a channel in the Philippines and immediately had to sit through 5 soap related commercials, precisely what I recall from my time there.

    It's cool, but are you not worried about a huge lawsuit from rebroadcasting copyrighted content without a licence?

    Can someone explain the economics of this?

    So, there are a bunch of open http endpoints serving free video feeds and they don't care about bandwidth?

    It's not like radio where you broadcast it and people passively receive the signal.

    This is a great service for language practice, though. Wish it had a login + favorites system.

    This is awesome. If the site owner is reading this, favorites would be cool.

    Thanks to this website I learned that ABC 25 Waco TV (KXXV) has some incredibly good interlude music.

    Clicked on a channel and it started playing the video pretty quickly.
    There is also https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv but your UI is much better.

    An option to sort stations by (some reasonable measure of) popularity instead of alphabetically would be nice.

    Pretty cool overall. On South Africa some of its listings are radio stations "broadcasting" over YouTube.

    Intriguing concept! Combining TV with virtual world exploration opens up fascinating possibilities. The demo is impressive, but I'm curious about plans for content beyond scenic walks. Interactive experiences? Educational journeys? With the right partnerships and creative direction, this could become a compelling new medium for immersive storytelling.

    Really notable that all the youtube feeds work and load fast, whereas all the other feeds are 50/50 if they work or not, and if they do load they're slow, laggy and bad quality.

    Props to the youtube engineering team I guess!

    The name is ironic, as there is a german TV show called Fernsehgarten (basically television garden). It's broadcasted live every sunday morning during summer season on ZDF, basically it's a outdoor studio with music and other things around a topic every week.

    Mostly targeted to elderly people, but funny to watch every once in a while. You can even go there in person for quite cheap

    Checks his own country: "No channels available."

    Damn, even Afghanistan has a dozen available.

    So it's only getting videos from youtube that claim to be from Sweden. But very few of them actually were. The very first images I saw was a racoon, not common here at all.
