Samsung TV Plus is one of the most popular streaming applications, particularly for Samsung TVs. The streaming application allows users to access hundreds of free channels through a single app. The app was made exclusive only to Samsung TV users. However, the app may soon be available to other manufacturers’ TV too. A new piece of information making rounds of the internet has claimed so. This could be great news for Smart TV users as they can access the Samsung TV Plus and its services in their existing Smart TVs.
The company launched Samsung TV Plus in 2015. It’s a free, ad-supported streaming (FAST) service that comes standard with newer Samsung TVs. Like with a typical TV service, the service lets users browse a selection of channels. With the addition of popular shows like Top Gear, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, NCIS, and Chicago Fire in August, Samsung TV Plus offers a very impressive lineup of content for a free app.
The service also includes a selection of regional and national news channels in addition to channels created by Samsung, like Ride or Drive and The Movie Hub. Along with 220 stations in the US, TV Plus currently offers about 1,600 channels spread over 24 nations. The company is presently debating whether to grant licences to other manufacturers so they can sell the services alongside the TVs. However, there is currently no final words on the topic and we really do not know if this is going to be possible in the coming days or not.
Other TV makers, such as TCL, LG, and Vizio, have their own free streaming services that they compete with, as do other services that aren’t tied to particular TVs, such as Amazon Freevee, Roku, Fox’s Tubi, NBC’s Peacock, and Paramount’s Pluto TV. Although it appears that Samsung also wants to make its TV Plus service a free-floating software, it’s not clear whether other manufacturers will want the app on their TVs or even if the programme will be popular. Let’s wait till any official confirmation comes out before commenting on anything.
We’re interested to see if the other companies will actually use Samsung TV Plus once it becomes available to them, or if they’ll just continue with their own streaming services or none at all. That was all we had at the time. Thank you for reading the article all the way through. Please use the comment area below to share your thoughts about this.
