Pluto TV: 100+ Free Channels

In this day and age dominated by the Internet, it’s no surprise that the need for television has dwindled. After all, why would you need to pay such exorbitant prices for a cable company if you could just watch everything you want online for free? However, there are still some people who prefer to surf channels like the old TV days. Pluto TV seems to have been created to cater to those kinds of people. Pluto TV is a video streaming software that offers free television broadcasting through the Internet.Support and ServicesPluto TV is a cross-platform app that works in mobile devices, PCs, and Smart TVs granted the lineup of supported Smart TVs is limited. Vizio, Samsung, and Sony are the only TV brands that support this service at the moment. However, it does work in nearly all iOS and Android mobile devices and tablets. Downloading the app and using the service is completely free of charge. It is also supported by some streaming players like Amazon Fire TV, Android TV, Apple TV, and Roku. In terms of services, the Pluto TV acts and feels similar to old non-cable television services. Since the dawn of streaming services like Netflix and Hulu, the on-demand model of video distribution has become commonplace. Pluto TV’s distribution model acts like the nostalgic channel-surfing model. You are provided with hundreds of channels available for streaming. One negative aspect is the fact that you can’t choose the programs that are available in the lineup. However, that’s really no different from getting a cable service. In any case, it’s completely free so I don’t mind this issue. Installation, Interface, and PerformanceInstalling PlutoTV is an easy affair. It’s just the standard installation process. It required no additional setup and software in order to work. The interface is pretty complicated at first. However, once you get used to it, it’s actually quite easy to understand. Just click on the channel that you want and the show that’s playing will start automatically. There are time stamps below the player if you want to know what’s going to be playing at a certain time. Additionally, there’s a live feature for news and sports shows and you can click on the live button to take you to the part that’s currently being live streamed. In terms of performance, Pluto TV does pretty well. There were no noticeable lags, freezes, and crashes when using PlutoTV. The player also streams with high quality and it doesn’t require a long buffer time.For Old School TV SurfersThe old model of channel-surfing has lost popularity with the current generation and for good reason. There’s a certain satisfaction to be had knowing that all the shows that you want are right at your fingertips with a single click of the mouse or remote. That said, Pluto TV’s model does still have an audience and, being a free service, it’s something worth checking out even if you’re into the in-demand model more. You may not be able to choose what you’re going to get, but it also gives you the chance to discover new programs.  As long as you’re not picky with what you`re going to watch, Pluto TV is perfectly acceptable.
