- Southern Zone: TV Sur · Canal 14, from Pérez Zeledón, at tvsur.co.cr/envivo.
- Caribbean: CTV Limón, a digital channel on the air 24 hours a day, at ctvlimon.com.
What about FUTV?
FUTV, the sports channel, is a cable channel: its site publishes the schedule but no free live stream. You need a cable service that carries it.
Tips
- Use the official site. Third-party pages that claim to stream channels “live” often carry misleading ads or copied signals.
- Check the schedule. Some programs, such as matches or movies, may not be available online because of broadcast rights.
- Without internet, the free-to-air channels can be watched with a digital TV antenna.
