Without making too much noise, Pluto TV makes a name for itself among the services that offer Internet TV, and its first year in Europe ended with 100 free channels in exchange for advertising. So much so that there are already companies that integrate several of its channels, such as Samsung’s Smart TVs in Europe which also integrate Rakuten TV channels.
Now the ViacomCBS-owned company is gearing up to get another big boost from fellow Google. As stated by Google itself, Pluto TV channels will be natively integrated into Google TV devices
Pluto TV is integrated with Google TV, although first in the United States
Yesterday, December 6, Google announced on its official blog that devices equipped with Google TV, whether dongles to connect to HDMI or to televisions equipped with Google TV as standard, they received a new way to access free content. It is integration with free Pluto TV channels, which in the United States there are over 300 at present. The integration begins (at least) with the United States, in fact, and it is not yet known if we will see it in Europe.
In the same way as it happens with Amazon Fire TV devices (although without the need to install the Pluto TV app), On devices with Google TV, a tab called “Free Live TV” or “Free Live TV” will appear.
In Europe, Pluto TV already has 100 channels integrated into platforms such as Samsung’s Smart TVs, and it looks like Google TV could be the next step in our country, although for the moment Google only mentions the arrival of this integration in the United States
Either way, at the moment, we have no news that Google is going to take this integration far beyond the borders of its own country, although it would make sense for that to happen. The deployment of Pluto TV natively on Google TV will take place before Christmas but Google is already promising new ways to watch free content in 2022. Are you referring to the extension of this agreement to other parts of the world? Let us have confidence that this is the case.
