Free sat TV?... im not sure if that exist. Is there a specific station you are trying to get? Maybe we can help. Are you looking for Free or legal. The point of intersection for those two is FAST (Free ad supported tv) providers. Ex: pluto, stirr, etc.

Its called FTA tv - its free to air, mostly garbage religious channels, but its legal to watch them, some people have like 10 sats to get all of the fta content.

These are the channels. Not really worth it to make a satellite eyesore for the limited channels out there, much more reasonable to get a decent over the air antenna.

Does this include hdmi for channels/chrome capture for channels?

I added a source for PBS as you showed https://I.mjh.nz/PBS/all.m3u8 and I understand that there is geofencing on the 146 stations that appear in the guide. But even the three stations serving my area also start, reconnect and then abort. Wondering if I can fix this. Thanks.
That playlist appears to be made for KODI.
PBS streams are DRM'd and can't be played/recorded with Channels DVR.

You cannot use this old, outdated method because of the DRM, but you can and must use this method if you want PBS:
I want to be very clear that I have access to my local (and only my local) PBS Stations in Channels DVR with full functionality using this method.

Not sure if this is possible or a feature request for Custom Channels but here goes.
Most of the streaming services have hundreds of channels and I'm going to guess that most of us want less than a dozen in the ChannelsDVR EPG. In manage lineup, is there an option to block all channels so that the end user can then just unblock just those channels desired? Manually blocking hundreds of channels isn't really optimal. Thanks in advance.

I asked for this years ago.

Unfortunately there is not a "block all". You should make a feature request. I can see this as having a legitimate use case.
The only alternative is Channels Collections. Works pretty good. But ... sometimes its not what you want.
Thank you, feature request added.

In case you're interested, I published a bookmarklet awhile back that you could try. It makes it easy to do this and a few more functions.

That looks like exactly what the @LAX is looking for.
Can something like this be implemented on an offical capacity?
@kman0 that is very cool.
The PlutoTV links no longer work. It looks like the PlutoTV folder on that site is gone.

Hmmm... that's kinda worrisome.
Guide data is not working on this one, but the channels work.

Thanks for the article. That is very troubling.
For those who want to add missing Pluto stations like Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune:
Pluto TV - no Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy channels - #22 by babsonnexus
EDIT:
The above method doesn't work because Pluto put in a new requirement that makes it not viable for the missing stations. However, there is now a Docker that will give you all of the stations, including these missing ones:
