What Megacubo is not
- It is not an IPTV subscription service — no channels, no monthly plan
- It does not include or endorse channel lists — you bring the M3U playlist or use community sources
- It does not need an account — the app runs locally
- It is not a media center — for a full media center with add-ons and a local library, Kodi is the better-known option
Megacubo is a player, not a content provider. The project does not host, sell or endorse any channel, and users are responsible for the playlists and sources they add. The application itself is free — see the license terms.
Free, with an optional Premium license
Everything needed to watch live TV and radio is free and open source. Premium is a one-time purchase for people who also want to record and cast; it does not limit the free app.
