Google adds a new way to watch free channels on Android TV devices

Google TV offers over 115 free channels, so it can be difficult to easily find what you want to watch. This is why the Mountain View company introduced a new way to watch all free Google TV channels.

Starting today and continuing for the next few weeks, Android TV devices in the United States will benefit from a shortcut to free channels in the Favorite apps row on the Home screen.

If you didn't know, Google TV's free channels include just about everything from local news to movies to sports, all available on the fly without having to download anything or pay for a subscription .

Of course, the new shortcut is optional, so for even more free TV, the Live tab continues to be the one-stop destination for those looking for free content from more providers, including Pluto TV, Tubi, Plex and Haystack News. .

The new shortcut for free channels will automatically appear in the Favorite apps row on your home screen, you don't need to do anything. Hopefully, Google will roll out this feature to more countries in the coming months, but if you're in the US, be on the lookout for this nifty feature.
