Samsung TV Plus, a service which offers users of Samsung Smart televisions free TV content, with ad-supported select live channels and on-demand videos, was today launched in India.
It is a free service with no additional device such as a set top box. Basically it means you can get right to watching on-demand programming without having to pay for OTT subscription right after coughing up for a new TV.
Anyone with a Samsung Smart TV (2017 model onwards) and an internet connection can access this service.
Samsung said that TV Plus will also be available on most Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablet devices with O OS or higher software version. The TV Plus app can be downloaded from both, Samsung Galaxy Store and Google Play Store.
