Then run the program. Once inside, you have two options: enter the address of the M3U file, or download an M3U file that has been preloaded and copied to the Freebox Delta hard drive. We propose this second solution, which is easier to implement.
There are several sites where you can get an M3U file that remembers the IP addresses of various TV streams. But generally and as you will quickly notice, you have to go through Google and these types of queries “working M3U file” or search the forums to find functional ones.

A second click displays information such as screen definition, stream language or audio codecs used. Press the back button on the remote control to access the list of available channels. A second press closes the M3U file.

If the entire catalog is not available in Freeboxes, you will be able to find certain thematic channels in the rerun of TF1.
