(Web Desk) – Google TV has brought hundreds of free TV channels to one place, organizing them by topic in one easy-to-use guide.
“…we’re introducing a new live TV experience that lets you browse more than 800 free TV channels across multiple providers, organized in one easy-to-use guide right in the Live tab,” the company announced in its official blog.
From breaking news to blockbuster movies and everything in between, there's something for everyone. And with no subscriptions or fees, it's never been easier to jump in and start watching.
The platform has integrated access to free channels from Tubi, Plex and Haystack News directly into the Live tab, alongside the existing lineup of channels from Pluto TV.
“We’re also launching free built-in channels from Google TV that you can watch without even downloading or launching an app. In total, you can now browse over 800 channels and premium programming, including news channels from NBC, ABC, CBS and FOX. You can also tune in to channels from around the world, with programming in more than 10 languages including Spanish, Hindi and Japanese.”
Find what you’re looking for with ease
“The new TV guide brings all your new free TV channels together and organizes them for easier and faster browsing. Whether you’re in the mood for true crime, classic TV reruns or your favorite cooking show, we’ve got you covered. Plus, you can save your ‘Favorites’ to the top of your guide for quick and easy access next time,” it said.
Furthermore, if the users have a premium live TV subscription from YouTube TV or Sling TV, or access to over-the-air channels, they can use the Live tab to see those too.
The new live TV experience will be available over the next few weeks on all Google TV devices in the U.S., including Chromecast with Google TV and TVs with Google TV built-in from Sony, TCL, Hisense and Philips. “We also plan to bring the new TV guide and free channels to eligible Android TV devices later this year,” it said.
