What your TV’s free channels and services really promise
TV brands love to boast about all the extra perks you’ll receive if you buy their product. One commonality among the top brands that make smart TVs, as well as those that make video streaming sticks, is the notion of free content. They all claim some combination of free channels, movies, TV shows, or even services. Samsung TV Plus, which comes with Samsung smart TVs, boasts over 1,000 free titles, while LG Channels offers over 300 channels. The Roku Channel, meanwhile, is a free streaming service comprising shows, movies, and news as well as a bunch of on-demand titles. Meanwhile, Google TV claims over 800 channels. There are also free services like Pluto TV, Tubi, and Freevee.
