-M3U Playlist for free TV channels
+Free TV
+=======
+
+This is an M3U playlist for free TV channels around the World.
+
+Philosophy
+==========
+
+The main goals for this playlist are listed below.
+
+**Quality over quantity**
+
+The less channels we support the better. The less countries we support the better.
+
+- All channels should work well and be in HD.
+- Only one URL per channel (no +1, no alternate feeds, no regional declinations)
+
+**Only free channels**
+
+If a channel is normally only available via commercial subscriptions it has nothing to do in this playlist. If on the other hand it is provided for free to everybody in a particular country, then it should be in this playlist.
+
+- No paid channels
+- Only channels which are officially provided for free (via DVB-S, DVB-T, analog, etc..)
+
+**Only mainstream channels**
+
+This is a playlist for everybody.
+
+- No adult channels
+- No channels dedicated to any particular religion
+- No channels dedicated to any particular political party
+- No channels made for a country and funded by a different country
+
