Watch TV on your Mac, using your Freebox
[Because the app of this article will be useful almost exclusively to french people, this post is also in French. Skip below for the english version.]
Je ne regarde quasiment pas la télé, mais de temps en temps, je veux voir quelque chose en live. Etant un geek assumé, je le fais généralement de mon Mac, via le flux vidéo broadcasté par la Freebox. Merci Free d’avoir tout compris !
Voici une minuscule application qui lance VLC avec la bonne URL - http://mafreebox.freebox.fr/freeboxtv/playlist.m3u – et active le mode plein écran.
Cela fonctionne uniquement si vous êtes connecté à une Freebox.
[ENGLISH VERSION]
Even though I’m not a fan of TV, sometimes, I want to watch something in live. Being a geek, I usually do it from my Mac. In France, we have a great ISP, named Free. Their box are called Freebox, and it broadcasts a video feed of most of the TV channels.
Below is a very tiny application that will open VLC, ask it to launch the correct URL - http://mafreebox.freebox.fr/freeboxtv/playlist.m3u in case you are searching for it – and activate the fullscreen mode.


Hi mate! I quite agree with your opinion. I’ve just bookmarked it.
