Free Live TV and Movies on Smart TVs
In today's fast-paced world, streaming has become synonymous with high costs due to various subscription services. With multiple platforms vying for viewer attention, it often feels overwhelming to keep up. However, for smart TV users in India, there is a silver lining! You can now watch live TV and movies for free through a growing list of legal streaming apps.
Platforms such as Roku, Tubi, and Pluto TV are leading the way in providing free, ad-supported streaming television (FAST) and on-demand video (AVOD). These apps allow users to access a plethora of live TV channels, movies, and series at no cost, with the only trade-off being short ad breaks during content viewing.
Installing these apps on smart TVs is a breeze. Most smart TVs, including popular brands like Samsung, LG, and Fire TV, come equipped with built-in app stores. Users can easily search for their favorite apps by typing or using voice commands. Google TV and Apple TV also offer similar functionality, ensuring that accessing free content is user-friendly. If you find your TV lagging due to multiple apps, a simple restart or deleting unused applications can enhance performance.
The Roku Channel stands out by offering over 500 live channels, including categories like news, sports, and children’s programming. Additionally, it boasts a vast library of free on-demand movies and shows, including popular titles like Prey and 2 Broke Girls. Most smart TVs support this app, and if yours doesn’t, a Roku streaming device can be connected for access.
Tubi is often viewed as a free alternative to Netflix, featuring over 260 live TV channels and a massive library of 275,000 on-demand titles, including originals. Registration is optional but signing up allows for parental controls and tracking your watch history.
Owned by Paramount, Pluto TV offers hundreds of channels covering news, sports, and entertainment, along with CBS originals and classic films like The Godfather trilogy. Amazon’s Freevee, now part of Prime Video, provides free shows, while Plex combines live TV and personal media streaming effectively. Finally, YouTube remains a versatile platform with countless free channels and full-length films available.
Whether you prefer classic TV shows, blockbuster movies, or live channels, these free and legal streaming services can transform any smart TV into a complete entertainment hub, all without the burden of subscription fees!
