Have you tried IPTV lists?
Open up this free list with VLC player and hit Ctrl+L to open the playlist (the list of channels). They seem to have at least 3: QVC Japan, NHK World Japan and New Japan Pro Wrestling World.
You might find better lists for japanese TV if you dig deeper into IPTV. Note that lots of lists are paid.
Good luck!
Do you know of any resources where one could read up on IPTV or lists of iptv providers?
I do know a few evil internet forum posts that explain and go through quite a lot, but a comprehensive list of providers would be hard to find. Lots of paid ones pop up on searches, as ads, paid content or on shill review sites, so it's difficult to find quality information regarding all of them. There seem to be ones that have thousands of channels that mostly use world tv stations, and niche specific ones though (movies, cartoons, reality tv, etc.). Some paid providers use proprietary software for watching, while others provide .m3u lists of channels that you can open on VLC Player. Some .m3u files only work if you pay for a service and provide credentials or have a specific ip, and some are free. They're usually called "IPTV lists".
Here's a number of free lists grouped by country, language, region, category, etc. It's where I got the one I linked in my previous comment from.
Here's a good conversation about services that was later deleted, but you can read most of the comments from that webpage.
Regarding how to configure smartTVs and other devices to watch is a whole other thing. What devices would you like to use it on?
Holy god! Its going to take forever for my brain to parse that list. Is there anyway to pull streams out of it and save them elsewhere?
Not sure if there's an easy way, but the m3u files are in plaintext and you can make your own copy and pasting the contents of another.
Thank you! Will give it a shot!
Just wondering, you're not only looking for anime right? I know nhk has a yt channel that i frequent
I think doesn't work outside Japan? Tried also with vpn but without luck. Thanks though!
Correct I'm looking for regular tv stations streams. I really enjoy NHK programme in their yt!
Back when I was studying japanese I managed to set a way to download hours of japanese TV to later watch ok my phone. I don't know if it would still work though
