Google adds 300 free TV channels to Chromecast and Smart TV

Today there is more streaming entertainment than ever. If we want to access all the content, subscriptions can be a high cost per month if we opt for payment platforms such as Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video or Disney +. In addition, according to a Google investigation, 67% of users are concerned about the cost of accessing streaming content per month.

Despite the fact that paid streaming platforms provide us with excellent entertainment content such as series, movies or documentaries, there are also platforms that offer totally free content. This is the case of Google TV in the United States, with which you can access more than 300 linear television channels for free.

Free apps with Google TV

Google TV gives us the possibility to try free applications by accessing the tab “Applications”> “Free Movies and TV” among which we can find Tubi, Xumo and Red Bull TV.

On the other hand, when we activate Google TV or another device with Android TV operating system (in the US) we have the possibility of accessing Peacock Premium for 6 months for free. Once the 6-month period is over, the cost will be $ 4.99. At Peacock we can find movies, exclusive hit shows and sports among others.

Finally, another way to access totally free content on Google TV is by exchanging Google Play points for movies, applications, programs and more. If the film we are looking for is not available in the free services, it is also possible to rent or buy it. Google TV has a catalog of 200,000 movies and television episodes starting at $ 2.99. Whether it’s a new release or older content, we can find our favorite movies and series through our voice. Thanks to the “Play Points loyalty” program, it is possible to earn points for every dollar spent and exchange it for free “Play” credits that can be used to buy more movies, shows, books, applications or games. Google TV is working to offer more ways to watch free content in 2022. In the meantime, here are the five ways to access totally free content through Google TV in the US.
