AVODs (advertising-based video on demand), better known as free streaming platforms with advertising, continue to arrive in Spain. Without a doubt, Pluto TV’s offer is one of the most popular with its intention to reach 100 channels before the end of the year. Later the Rakuten TV channels arrived with a proposal of 90 free channels with advertising. Now comes rlaxx, a new streaming platform with 27 free channels that can be viewed from various Smart TV models .
Pluto TV, Rakuten TV Channels, Tivify and now rlaxx are the main alternatives to watch TV for free. Some channels are common to all the proposals while other platforms, such as Tivify, focus more on offering DTT, at least in its free version. This new rlaxx platform is of German origin and is present in quite a few Smart TV models, although, for the moment, not in Samsung.
All 27 free rlaxx channels
The platform has live channels, but also content on demand. On the live, we can pause the content and they will “bother” us with a unique ad every few minutes . At the moment, it cannot be seen from the web or through applications for iOS or Android, although it is being worked on.
At the moment, the live channels that we can see amount to a total of 27, the list being the following:
- rlaxx True Crime
- Vevo Pop
- #CS – Surfing Connection
- rlaxx Nature
- Garage TV
- Anima Kids
- rlaxx Documentaries
- Thrill One
- Taste tv
- WPT – World Poker Tour
- Comedy dynamics
- Life on the Edge
- The Boat Show
- Music baeble
- Motor Racing
- Drink TV
- Skuff TV
- NYX Channel
- Horizon Sports
- Wness TV
- Skwadl
- Channel Fight
- Young hollywood
- Duck TV
- Power Nation
- Nosy
- Revry
The application is now available on Amazon Fire TV, TVs with Android TV operating system, Smart TV with LG webOS, Panasonic TVs, Hisense, Sharp, Apple TV devices, Toshiba, Medion, Metz, JVC, Telefunken and Grundig. And soon on Samsung Smart TV or Roku, as well as for mobiles and tablets through the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store. In these cases, we can sign up to receive a notice by mail about availability.
Regarding its operation, the truth is that it is more than correct, although in some devices it takes some time to change the channel. The content offer is not the greatest compared to its main rivals, but it is a good option to access channels that are even included in pay television platforms.
