Users have more and more options to enjoy streaming content. And today we have a wide variety of platforms with hundreds of titles in its catalogbeing able to enjoy movies, television series, programs, documentaries and more by paying a modest monthly or annual fee.
However, for quite some time now we have also had platforms that offer hundreds of titles completely free of charge. These platforms are called FAST (Free-ad Supported Television), and they are platforms that offer content through a business model based on advertising. In this way, we have dozens of free platforms that allow us view content without registering and with instant access.
LG Channels, a collection with more than 260 channels and on-demand content
Among these types of services we find prominent platforms such as Pluto TV, Rakuten TV, Plex TV, Runtime TV and many others with hundreds of titles to enjoy for free. In addition, there are television manufacturers that also natively include their own platforms to watch hundreds of free channels and on-demand content. Samsung has hundreds of channels on Samsung TV Plus, and Xiaomi also through its Xiaomi TV+ service. However, if you are the owner of an LG television, you will also have the opportunity to enjoy hundreds of free channels via LG Channels.
The service is basically an application that is installed on your television. If you do not yet have this service activated, in your webOS interface you must go to the configuration panel and in the channels section you must activate the ‘LG Channels’ tab. Here a screen will appear where you will have to accept the user agreement and privacy policy. When you have done so, you will be able to enjoy this application directly from your LG TV and without needing an antenna to watch the channels (although you will need an Internet connection).
The LG Channels channels are divided into the categories of Cinema, Entertainment, Series, Sports, Motor, Games, E-Sports and Video Games, Reality Television, Documentaries, Popularization, Music, Home, Magazine, News, Current Events, Children, Religion and Relaxation .
