Today, we have a lot of live TV options like Hulu, Sling TV, fuboTV, and Philo. All of them have different subscription plans with live TV channels. However, you might feel that these are a bit costly and hard to afford. You need to think about adding Plex on TCL Smart TV. Plex is a free and ad-based streaming service with both live TV as well as on-demand titles. This ultimate entertainment channel has around 200 live TV channels as well as 20,000 on-demand titles.
Plex has content for everyone in your family. This is because it streams news, sports, entertainment, travel, kid’s, and movie channels. Popular live channels on Plex include Euronews, Newsmax TV, ESTV, Law & Crime, MAV TV, Kidoodle TV, Nosey, and Cooking Panda.
