11 Best Live TV Streaming Services To Watch Shows Online


 


For many of us, TV is a way to enjoy some low cost entertainment. As long as you have an internet connection, a streaming device and a TV, there are a ton of free entertainment options. In this article we’ll explore 11 different apps and live streaming services that will allow you to watch TV free.

Popcornflix

 
Popcornflix is a free streaming service that has a ton of free movies and TV shows, available on aps on iOS, Android, Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, Xbox and more. The service has everything from classic 80s and 90s children's shows to relatively recent movies in a variety of genres, including foreign films and documentaries.


Redbox Free Live TV

 
In addition to their DVD rental kiosks and on demand streaming movies, Redbox recently announced that they would be releasing an ad-supported free live tv streaming service. The service is now available on the Redbox website, and via the Redbox app. The service has about 30 live streaming channels including TMC, USA Today, FailArmy and several Redbox exclusive channels. The channels and content show up in categories like "Movies", "TV", "Entertainment", "News" and "Kids".

 
Nosey

 
If daytime TV is your guilty pleasure, then Nosey is the perfect streaming service for you.
Nosey has compiled a compilation of the best daytime TV to create an easy to use streaming service. From the cheating spouses on Jerry Springer, to the drama of Cheaters and Paternity Court. There are even some game shows such as Press Your Luck and Family Feud. Nosey allows you to enjoy all that daytime gold without needing an antenna or cable box.
Nosey is supported on iOS, Apple TV, Roku, and Android devices.
Crackle
This is an on demand service that streams like Netflix, but with no pesky subscription charges or fees.
The Crackle library includes lots of finished television shows and many movies. The content rotates out each month, and Crackle also produces its own original content.There are some great original series, including StartUp and Snatch, which is the type of edgy content that should address your HBO void. If you enjoy watching reruns of older shows like Seinfeld and Community, Crackle could be what you’re looking for.
Crackle is supported for Google Chromecast, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Android, and iOS. There are also a number of smart TVs that can stream Crackle.

Tubi TV

 
This is similar to Crackle, but it doesn’t have original content. The Tubi TV catalog contains more than 7,000 TV shows and movies, so you’re sure to always find something to watch.
The library is predominantly reality TV shows and old sitcoms that provide access to some real binge worthy content such as The FBI Files and Dog the Bounty Hunter.
The best feature of Tubi TV is its movie section. There are some real blockbuster titles, high quality documentaries, and some great romances. You may need to dig around a little to find the perfect movie for that lazy Sunday afternoon or a family movie night.
Tubi TV can be streamed with Android, iOS, Xbox, Apple TV, Roku, Samsung Smart TVs, Playstation, Amazon Fire TV, Sony Smart TVs, and web browsers.

Pluto TV

 
 Rather than offering on-demand video, Pluto TV is a live TV streaming service. Again, it's free to use. Although the service has been around since 2013, it's currently receiving considerable investment thanks to a January 2019 buyout by Viacom for $380 million.
Some of the channels you can expect to find include NBC News, CNN, Bloomberg, FOX Sports, Eleven Sports, and an adapted version of MTV.
There are also 24/7 channels devoted to series such as Doctor Who, Dog the Bounty Hunter, Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, and many more. You'll even find content from Paramount, Comedy Central, and Nickelodeon on Pluto's own in-house streaming TV channels. For sports fans, there's a dedicated MLS channel.

The Roku Channel

The Roku Channel is an on-demand TV streaming app. Since its launch in October 2017, it has rapidly risen to become one of the best free TV streaming services available.
It features TV series and movies from Lionsgate, MGM, Paramount, Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Warner Bros. There is also content from streaming TV providers who already have apps in the Roku Channel Store (such as American Classics, FilmRise, OVGuide, and Popcornflix).
Sadly, The Roku Channel is only available to people in the United States. The service is ad-supported.

Sling TV

 
 Did you even know that Sling TV offered free movies and TV shows to anyone inside the US?
Of course, the app is most well-known for its live TV subscriptions; it is a rival for Fubo and Hulu + Live TV. But in 2019 a free version of the app was launched.
It only offers on-demand shows, you can't use it to watch live TV. But there's a surprisingly decent selection of content. At the time of writing, some of the free shows/movies on Sling include Hell's Kitchen, Shark Attack 3, Alaska: The Last Frontier, and Dexter.

Peacock
 

Peacock Free doesn't require you to enter your credit card info, but you will have to watch ads — including commercials for Peacock Premium, a tier with even more programming and originals. Speaking of that, as a Peacock Free viewer, you can sample the service's originals like Brave New World and Intelligence. There are also "live" channels, based on brands like Saturday Night Live and the Today Show. If you don't know what to watch, channel surf and check out what's playing at the moment. All in all, we'd call Peacock Free a steal — but it doesn't cost anything!


Vudu

 
The Vudu interface is easy to use. Free content is clearly marked and you can filter for just free titles. The ads are about as frequent as other free services, but they tend to be more repetitive (and sometimes annoyingly interactive, requiring you to choose an option). 


Xumo

 
Xumo is another free streaming service with live and on-demand content. The app comes on several major smart TV brands and can also be downloaded on Roku, iOS and Android. No registration is required. Xumo offers more than 190 channels, including top brands like NBC News, Fox Sports, Funny or Die and TMZ.
Xumo’s main experience is a grid-type guide, just like you’d get with cable TV. You can watch live as you channel surf. The on-demand area lists all the channels, broken down by genre. The interface doesn’t make it that easy to see what TV shows are available, though. It looks like Xumo has the usual free fare: 21 Jump Street, Forensic Files, Family Feud and Unsolved Mysteries. The mobile app at least has a movies tab that you can browse.
