Samsung quietly launched the web version of the TV Plus streaming service

by ·

Samsung originally installed the TV Plus streaming service on the Smart TV series of smart TVs and mobile devices. According to Protocol reports, Samsung has quietly provided a web version of the TV Plus streaming service, which is also free, in order to attract more people to use it.

The original TV Plus streaming service has been developed into a form similar to cable TV, which can be accessed in 23 countries and regions around the world, including Brazil, India, and most of Europe, with a total of more than 1,000 channels. Among them, American viewers can access 140 channels, including ABC News Live and Vice. Perhaps due to copyright reasons, the web version of the TV Plus streaming service is temporarily limited to users in the United States and cannot be viewed in other regions. Samsung does not provide a paid membership service that eliminates advertisements, but it also provides a 4K resolution display in terms of picture quality selection.

In addition, to live broadcasts and cable TV programs, it also supports Chromecast screen casting. Probably because there are many competitors in this market, and the competition is fierce, Samsung has not done much publicity everywhere, but is doing tentative work. It is expected to directly compete with local suppliers that provide similar services such as Roku Channel, Pluto TV, and Tubi. In terms of time, Samsung entered the market a bit late this time, and similar services have long been popular all over the world.
After the service was discovered, Samsung did not immediately respond to the report, but in the end, a company spokesperson confirmed the accuracy of the news to the media. Samsung is still exploring the service form of TV Plus streaming service, hoping to have more viewers, and maybe wait until the time is right before opening it to different countries and regions.
