Despite the boom and increase in streaming platform offers on which to watch Internet television, the traditional channels of Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) are reluctant to die. If for some reason you have a Smart TV that cannot connect an antenna cable, you will still be able to watch these broadcasts through your WiFi network or through a direct cable connection.
In the following lines we are going to present you with a series of alternatives to watch DTT without needing to have access to the antenna or connect any cable to the coaxial port, since everything will be seen directly by streaming.
DTT Channels
TDT Channels is a collaborative platform that includes lists with the television and radio channels that DTT includes and through legal sources. It currently has 626 television channels and 903 radio stations, totaling 1,529 channels and networks between them.

If you have an Android TV, you can download it from this link with a browser on the TV and install the APK file using a file explorer app.
For any other operating system that your TV brand has, you can use an IPTV application and upload any of the channel lists that the members of this platform have put together:
- TV channels in M3U8 format – https://www.tdtchannels.com/lists/tv.m3u8
- TV channels in M3U format – https://www.tdtchannels.com/lists/tv.m3u
- TV + Radio M3U8 – https://www.tdtchannels.com/lists/tvradio.m3u8

Tivify
Tivify is a streaming platform that allows us to watch television for free. The Tivify platform allows us to watch DTT channels over the Internet without the need to have an antenna on any device with an Internet connection, as is the case with Smart TVs.
It has several price plans, but in its free mode you will find all the main DTT channels. Even from channels like DMAX, which do not have an official broadcast on the Internet, or the vast majority of regional FORTA channels.
In addition, it has the particularity that it also allows you to record content. On the free plan, you’ll get 60 hours of recordings for 30 days, and you can even go back in time to watch content from the last seven days on some channels. To create one of these accounts, you will only need to enter basic information such as an email.
Tell him
Diretele is a website that acts as a directory of television channels that are broadcast on the Internet, including DTT. It is a very intuitive website that is accessible from the browser from the Smart TV in which we can access the broadcasts of each channel quickly and easily, in many cases with the original player directly embedded.
Tell him
They compile the native signals of the channel, original, so only programs with rights to be broadcast over the Internet are broadcast online, so part of the programming is exclusively available in its traditional DTT broadcast and we will miss it here.
Official channel apps
Another alternative, although it may be more inconvenient than the previous ones that included practically the entire offer, is to use the different applications that the channels or multimedia groups make available to their viewers.
My TV
For example, on MiTele you can legally watch Mediaset content, including Internet broadcasts from DTT channels such as Telecinco, Cuatro, Divinity, Be Mad, Boing, FDF and Energy, along with a series of on-demand content within your free plan.
The Atresmedia group has AtresPlayer, which despite the fact that it has a premium option with exclusive series and early releases, also has a free version in which Antena 3, La Sexta, Neox, Nova, Mega and A3Series are broadcast.
Televisión Española also has an app for Smart TV, RTVE Play (previously RTVE A la carta). In it we can see content live and on demand from La 1, La 2, 24 hours, Teledeporte, Playz, TVE Catalunya or TVE Canarias.
