Pluto TV

If you miss the feeling of flipping through channels instead of choosing everything manually, Pluto TV is one of the closest experiences to cable you can get without paying. It offers hundreds of live channels that run continuously, covering news, movies, reality shows, and themed content streams.

The key difference is that Pluto is completely free. You open the app and start watching immediately. Of course, you’ll have to watch ads occasionally, but it’s the same as the ads you see when you watch cable TV.

Of course, Pluto TV doesn’t replace everything cable offers, but it does a very good job at it.
