Master this and you will have access to thousands of channels around the world and never be at the mercy of a live tv addon!
1. What the hell is an M3U Playlist?
If your not familiar with m3u files, its a computer file format that contains multimedia playlists, these playlists can be music, tv channels amongst other things. An M3U file is a plain text file that specifies the locations of one or more media files. The file is saved with the "m3u" filename extension if the text is encoded in the local system's default non-Unicode encoding (e.g., a Windows codepage), or with the "m3u8" extension if the text is UTF-8 encoded. WTF? Simply put, it's a file that tells your media player (in this case Kodi) where to find the source or stream to play. By using the Simple PVR Client in Kodi, you can load these M3U files and get a ridiculous amount of live TV from basically everywhere in the world.
These m3u files/playlists are easy to find online and there is a very wide selection and they are all FREE!
How long do they last…? It can range from days to weeks and even months, but once you get into the mix of adding and searching where they are online, you’ll soon know where to get the best ones from.
We are going to show you today how to add these playlists to your Kodi device and you won’t believe how easy it is.

13. Tips and Tricks
If you reboot your device and no channels load don’t panic, you will get a pop-up asking you to enable a PVR client, just press ok and then you’ll be re-directed to enable the PVR client we mentioned in the tutorial, you will require another reboot after this.
