there are both, however you would need to source a free one that is legal for you to use in your specific region.. these are m3u tuners and are able to be used as iptv type deals. github has some free ones laying around that claim to be legal (i wont link in case they arn't) but a few are able to do a hdhomerun emulation that can make it easier to get an epg running with it, however they are pretty much the same if you are manually specifying an epg.
you can also buy a super cheap device like a gtmedia satellite receiver and use a script i made (should be on my github under gtmedaim3u later today) to pull the channels to an m3u and play it via that.
there are other sources for things but again this wouldnt be the place for it.
edit: you also would want to find a guide for your specific channels.. most providers give you these but failing that mc2xml exists, but i am unsure of your country or region to help you with that further
hope this helps you on your journey
