    Ubuntutv is not a program to watch iptv, but rather an operating system for televisions.
    To the list you provide I would add:
    Megacube: https://megacubo.tv/online/es/
    Hypnotic: https://github.com/linuxmint/hypnotix
    Stremio: https://www.stremio.com/
    And some left me in the inkwell.
    Thank you very much for the post.
    Greetings.

    Hi thanks for the list. There are some like Freetuxtv that did not know that you could add iptv lists apart from what comes to be installed. He looked if he knew her. What I do not understand is the IPTVx that is in the appstore when you put that it is "specially designed for IPTV in Linux" and what I do not even understand is the UbuntuTV project that practically did not work and has been abandoned for a long time. lots of years (the link you put takes us directly to a page that says 410: Page deleted Ubuntu TV is no longer supported
    . Greetings and thank you.

    Ubuntu tv is an operating system for smart tv and it no longer exists, it has been discontinued, but it is not an application.
    Iptvx is only available for MacOS, it does not have a Linux version.
