(How to watch channels for free on Smart TV)

With the rising subscription costs of OTT platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+, if you want to watch movies and TV shows without spending a fortune, your Smart TV offers several options. Interestingly, most of these services offer free content in exchange for advertisements.

Check the free channels already on your TV

It's important to first check the free channels on your Smart TV. Platforms like Samsung TV Plus, LG Channels, Roku Channel, and Google TV offer many free channels. These include news, movies, reality shows, sports, and entertainment channels. In India, Samsung TV Plus also offers ad-based content without a subscription on select Samsung Smart TV models.

Watch Free Content on Prime Video

Amazon has integrated the free content from the old Freevee platform into Prime Video. So, if your Smart TV has the Prime Video app, be sure to check the Free section. Keep in mind that paid and free content may appear simultaneously on Prime Video, so be sure to check the price of the content.

Pluto TV is also a great option

If you prefer the old-school experience of watching TV without having to switch channels, Pluto TV might be the right choice. It offers a wide range of 24x7 live channels, along with on-demand movies and shows. Channels can be searched by category.

Watch free movies from Tubi

For your information, Tubi is a popular free streaming platform that offers a large library of movies and TV shows. It also offers on-demand content and live TV. There's no need for a separate paid subscription. However, the free content comes with occasional advertisements.

Don't ignore YouTube

YouTube isn't just for watching short videos. Its Free Movies section offers many movies and TV shows for free with ads. Older movies and shows can also be found on some official studio channels and public-domain content.

Library Card to Hoopla and Kanopy

If you have a card from a library that supports Hoopla or Kanopy, you can watch movies and shows for free through them. Interestingly, these services typically don't contain ads, as the library covers the cost of the content.
