We don’t always have time to watch television and nothing else. Sometimes, we put on a channel in the background and, in the meantime, we do university work or complete work tasks. Maybe you want to pay attention to the news or a soccer game without neglecting your obligations. Therefore, there is the possibility of watching all DTT channels on Windows through a floating window, and it is free and legal.
According to data shared on Statista, more than 97% of households in Spain had at least one television in 2023. Although the percentage has decreased slightly in recent years, this figure is still very high. However, the reasons why we may not have access to it are many. Perhaps since the DTT blackout in SD, we no longer have this electronic device or someone may already be using it at home and you will have to resort to IPTV on the computer.
There are several options available, and not all of them require downloading. With some, you just need to search for them through a browser and have a good Internet connection. But, if you install a program on a device, you can have very interesting extra functions. Today, we are talking about an option for Windows 11 with which you can watch television programming while you do your work in Word from the university, or fill out an Excel with the accounts of the company where you work.
OttPlayer, free and legal DTT on Windows 11
If you watch DTT from your mobile, we know that some of the best apps available are Photocall TV, World TV Mobile and TDT Channels. All of these programs are not only free, but they are also legal, have a wide variety of channels, and are easy to use. However, if we want something for our PC, we recommend OttPlayer, available for Windows 11, macOS, iOS, Android, Samsung Smart TV and LG Smart TV. In this post, we are going to talk about how to use it in Windows, although it can also be applied to Apple Mac computers.
This IPTV can have a large catalog of channels, among which are all of the Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) of Spain. Its main advantages are that it can be used offline and, in addition, you can view content while you continue with your tasks on the computer. Of course, remember to install it from the official Microsoft store to avoid malware.
How to watch Spanish channels on OttPlayer
Once the OttPlayer program is installed on the device, you must register and log in. But you can also use offline mode, which allows you to access its services without providing any data. The only thing you will have to do is download the channels from a page that offers them legally, such as iptv-org from GitHub.
Then, click on the GitHub download icon and select the file called ‘Spain’.
Next, you will have to open the OTTPlayer program and insert the .m3u file that you have downloaded. Once this is done, you will only have to choose the channel you want to watch and minimize the screen by clicking on the Compact mode option.
The program is only available in English and Russian. That can be a disadvantage if you don’t understand any of those languages very well. But, in general, it shouldn’t be something that prevents you from enjoying Spanish channels. The interface is quite intuitive and you will rarely have major complications. If you have any questions, you can always look up the words in Google Translate to understand what they refer to.
