htv

Project Positioning HTV is a free, ad-free, account-free Android live TV streaming application that runs on phones, Android TV, and TV boxes. It can be used immediately after installation. Main Features - Channel Content: Includes built-in commonly used channels such as CCTV, satellite TV, local stations, and Phoenix TV. The project states that live sources are automatically updated daily. - Auto Source Switching: When playback times out, encounters errors, or displays no picture for an extended period, the app automatically tries the next available source. If the channel list fails to load, it provides status prompts and a one-click retry option. - Channel Favorites: Users can long-press the OK button in the channel list to add or remove favorites. Favorite channels are displayed at the top of the list. - Live Replay: Supports replaying recently aired programs, but this feature depends on the live source itself. Users can check support status in "Settings → Replay Diagnostics". - EPG Program Guide: Asynchronously loads current and upcoming program information. - Interface and Operation: Supports switching between horizontal grouping and vertical list views. Multi-source channels can be manually switched in the info panel. It is compatible with remote control directional keys, number keys, OK key, and menu key, as well as phone touchscreen swiping and tapping. - Network Compatibility: Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 network environments. Acquisition and Installation The latest APK can be downloaded via GitHub Releases or the project's official homepage. Phones can install it directly; for TVs or boxes, installation can be done via USB drive, file manager, or ADB. During first-time installation, "Unknown Sources" must be allowed. The project license is Apache-2.0. The README also indicates support for customizing live sources, which requires contacting the author.
