If you’re in the unique position of not having enough online content to watch, Google has a solution. The company plans to integrate Pluto TV into its Google TV app, granting access to over 300 live channels. The partnership means you’ve got a whole lot of free content coming your way.
The rollout has already begun, and you can expect to see the new channels appear soon. Let’s discuss how you can access Pluto TV content through the Google TV application once you have access.
How to Access Free Live Channels on Google TV
As announced on The Keyword, Pluto TV is integrating with Google TV. This means you can access over 300 new live TV channels—including movies, sports, and TV shows—through the Live tab on your Google TV device. You’ll also be able to see channel recommendations under the For You tab.
Initially, Pluto TV integration will only be available to people in the United States, so you’ll need to find another source of free content if you reside elsewhere. Alternatively, you could get crafty and use a VPN to trick Google into thinking you’re a US resident.
Pluto TV integration adds to Google’s expanding selection of free TV content, which must be making paid streaming services nervous. An overabundance of choice makes deciding on a subscription difficult, and a free and easy solution is appealing.
If Pluto TV channels aren’t yet appearing in your Google TV app, you may need to wait for the rollout to complete. Google hasn’t given a clear indication of when all US residents will receive access or if the service will expand to other regions, so a little patience may be needed.
Google TV Could Provide More Free Content
At a time when streaming services are numerous and constantly multiplying, a free option for the more casual viewer is welcome. Google already offers a lot of complimentary content within its TV application, and its continued expansion could pose a genuine threat to paid solutions.
When a company offers over 300 free live channels, you can’t expect all killer and no filler. However, with that much content to choose from, you’re bound to find at least a few things worth watching.
