Riva Free is a curated selection of live channels distributed through official broadcaster, FAST (free ad-supported streaming), and public-service stream endpoints. We do not use third-party pirate restreams or unlicensed rebroadcast feeds. TV channels are verified through Riva’s private relay; CORS-friendly radio streams play direct from the broadcaster. This page documents each included channel, its source URL, and the basis on which it is offered.
Playlist file
The app loads Riva Free from our hosted playlist: /riva-free.m3u8 (81 channels)
