6 Free TV & Movie Options for Cord Cutters - No Subscription Required! - AVOD

[@john26262]

A lot of these free ad supported services are getting better and better. Some don't have nearly as many ads as cable channels have. And they are getting more sophisticated and less glitchy.

[@davea.9570]

You are and have been my favorite youtuber by far for years. I am a cable tv technician (12 plus years). I'm the guy who shows up to install it or fix it if there's an issue and i recommend these or over the air tv via antenna of some sort all the time. I love my job but the pricing is honestly outrageous. I suggest cord cutting ideas with my customers all the time, especially for those additional tv sets that arent used as often. You'd be amazed at how many people dont realize over the air tv still exists and is just the price of the antenna and set up time or that your tv provider probably has a streaming option on roku or other device to bypass paying for a box. This is a was a GREAT video. Thank you

[@piman2boek364]

If you watch a lot of sports you will have even more problems finding the teams you like to watch when you switch to streaming. Most services that have about as much content as cable start at $50. Since I gave up on sports I mainly watch movies so I get by with a couple of paid services I was already paying for and Philo which costs about $20/month.

[@yudk8418]

Can This Pluto be used via antennae?

[@Charsept]

I do like these free internet TV services. Pluto is definitely the one I've used the most.

[@CommodoreFan64]

PlutoTV overall is the best of the free services at the moment, but Vudu has lot of free movies, and STIRR has been catching up with Pluto as well. I always do a once a month scan on the ROKU channel store to see what's new, give what looks interesting a shot if it's free, but 95+% of the time they don't stay on my ROKU channel list past a day, or so.

[@kevhun1]

Xumo isn't bad crackle is great. They even have original programming like the oath

I love the dr who channel on Pluto i get to see all the old who's that i watched as a kid

[@ngiants2230]

Used crackle for many years and it’s always been free in my experience.

[@dave4shmups]

I love Tubi! It's got every old episode from the original Transformers series that I was such a fan of when I was a kid.

[@Boricua0082]

THIS!!!

[@AAWinnerMichaelCaine]

Check out ShoutFactoryTV, too. They have tons of retro content including Reboot, every Mystery Science Theater 3000, and more. They've got a Roku channel app, or you can use their website. There's also an unofficial Roku channel app called Toonami Aftermath that replicates early 2000s Cartoon Network - great for revisiting Batman TAS and Justice League. It even runs vintage commercials between shows. His website has instructions on how to get it running on a Roku (takes about five minutes).

[@vasili1207]

If a guy called dave shumps recommends it ...... gotta be good i bet he watches it in tate mode 😊

[@HughD]

Good job, Lon and based on the view count, it would seem to be a good topic for more frequent videos on the topic going forward. Yours is not a channel I think of for Cord Cutters (I am one), but you did a better job with this than some who are!!!

[@TechnicallyLenard]

Vudu also has a free section with some fairly worth while content rotated out fairly regularly.

[@shakibm1558]

Say fairly one more time

[@conniesmall7966]

Nice to know pluto tv app

[@johntierney3353]

You should report what the 'ad load' is for these AVOD. Ad load is usually defined as how many ads they will run in a 60-minute period. If they start approaching the ad load on cable TV, then they are going to turn off their customer base. My biggest gripe(with Vudu) is you will see the same add over and over and over again. I guess it's because they just don't have a large inventory of ads.

[@lemonatorpk]

and yet with vudu its over in 19 seconds or around that mark , so for tv shows 2 or 3 breaks and episode at 19 to 30 seconds is a vast improvement

[@MsSissiePooh]

Pluto TV, Tubi and Vudu are the ones I watch the most. I don’t mind the ads in the movies, because the movies are basically uncut and unedited, and they’re free...

[@Buisness1]

Fantastic presentation and delivery. A Superb content even in 20/20

[@RandallLind]

IMDB TV is free on Nvidia Shield also. All you do is open the Amazon Prime video app and look for Amazon channels I believe it is halfway down the main page. Then just scroll the channels until you see it. I don't really watch it much because with Prime subscription I can watch tons of TV/Movies add free but, I do have the option of watching it if I want to sit through ads.

[@piman2boek364]

I listen to Pandora and iHeart Radio on my computers and cell phone and sometimes on my Roku (both are free with commercials). The Roku channel is my favorite free channel for movies.

[@bobh5261]

I appreciate your unpaid opinion with no representative of any company opinion.

[@christopherhorton821]

You don't need any type of bow or stick to watch Pluto or Tubi. Both can be watched online for free. Pluto can also be downloaded on to a pc or laptop so you can start it straight up from the desktop

[@nhutchins]

I did not look at all of the comments so someone may have already mentioned this. One app I did not see mentioned here is Airy TV. It is similar to some of the other apps mentioned. Of the 10 tv apps I have, Airy TV ranks 3rd, behind Pluto TV and Tubi TV.

[@MrFearDubh]

IMDB TV is available one more way. We have Amazon Prime for 2 day delivery which has a great list of TV shows and movies available for the basic subscription, but it also offers IMDB (with commercials) for free with that service. You can also try many of the other services (HBO, Showtime, STARS, etc.) for free trials without having to add another channel and learn another interface slowing down what you can watch while enjoying your free trial.

[@jagardina]

Great information. I don't watch much TV but advise a lot of people (like my wife) on various alternative viewing options.

[@Treychik]

Some of them are awesome, but require strong tool to block ads...I mean ads every 5-10 minutes of the 40 min anime episode...come on! Personally I use Tubi and Crackle, and the paid Amazon Prime! Love it

[@1252PFC]

Great review as always. short concise and relevant. Keep up the great work 👍

[@watchinglion7774]

Hi, Sir, your video is a youtube recommendation to me and my first time watching. I have been streaming after I got rid of rip off jack up the price cable. Most of the channels you shown I been watching for awhile and I like them very much. Just recently I came across another one similar to the channels you demonstrated on your video. The channel I just found is called STIRR TV and I really like the channel very much and been watching my favorite classic 80’s tv show named ”Hunter” and I'm very happy.

[@Ivanskis]

Great video!! I am digging all the items in the background!!

[@videogameobsession]

I don't mind the ads on these free services, in fact I kind of miss some of the old commercials. It was a nice reminder to use the bathroom or let your dog out, but I wish they would mix them up a bit more. I can't stand when they show the exact same ad over and over again. Sometimes even back to back.. It may get your attention, but I don't think it's getting their desired effect since it makes me hate them!

[@rickygonzalez2519]

IMDBtv is available on the Roku but not as a app. You have to add the service to your Amazon Prime account and then you can access it from the Amazon app on the Roku.

[@rwafford1]

You don't need a paid Amazon Prime subscription for IMDb TV. You just need and Amazon account which is free to setup.

[@sd906238]

I pay for cable TV from internet service provider/Phone company. When I try to watch TCM, AMC and TNT on my Roku I have to activate them first. But my internet service provider doesn't support "TV Everywhere" so I can't watch these channels on my Roku. Is there a work around to this problem?

[@TheRasta4ri]

Putting up with a little Rigmarole is much better than putting up with subscription service fees through cable companies that want you to think of them as a utility.

[@bradquinn4161]

You might want to look at Crackle again. It has been free for YEARS(2007?). Sony appears to be backing away from streaming. They just partially sold (or something) Crackle and the new company will be managing Crackle going forward. So we will have Crackle plus the content the new managing company brings with it. Chicken soup for the soul? is the company. I think.

[@piman2boek364]

Crackle used to be very good. Not as good now - mostly really old films.

[@chrishooper68]

Hi there Lon! :-) I'm a Huge fan of your show! Thank You So Much for all of the info you bring to us! I noticed you didn't have Walmart's VUDU on there. That's another great one that has lots of Free content when the Tab is selected. Only downfall is; you have to have or create a Walmart Account. Take Care, Chris

[@TacticalPower88]

Another worthwile mention is Popcornflix. Most of these have ad free apps and/or "k word" addons as well. I use adguard DNS settings on my firestick so many of these are ad free with their native apps as well.

[@LonSeidman]

Errata: As it turns out IMDB TV content is integrated into the Amazon Prime video app. See more here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2bOiHavh9-HjM0

[@BrandonGiesing]

It's seems like we are heading on a trend where services like Netflix used to be (just a catalog of movies/shows from other companies) will be replaced by free ad-supported services like Tubi while newer services like Disney+ and Apple TV+ (plus some older services pivoting like Netflix) are gonna be paid but focused exclusively on Originals which I personally think is smart.

[@tracey3046]

I love Pluto. I watch it on my phone.

[@nita409]

Stirr is a good streaming app too. And are Filmrise & Popcorn Flix are good sites similar to Tubi. Popcorn has a separate app for kids & Filmrise has separate apps (if you want them) per genre.

Seems most of it is for US audiences only. Any recommendations for those outside the US?

[@CommodoreFan64]

You could always try using a VPN on your router, and seeing if they work that way, but if you use a Roku box, you do also need to provide a credit/debit card that way you can make on device purchases, and they can know you are over the age of 18 for legal reasons. My other advice if you want to use a ROKU outside of the US, just check the channel store in the free section, keep trying different apps to see what works, and what does not.

[@AAWinnerMichaelCaine]

@@CommodoreFan64 IIRC there is a way to sidestep the card requirement by going to a different Roku activation URL intended for that. Roku just doesn't openly share it during setup.

[@potter3173]

Thank you lon.

[@gselby8107]

Hey Lon. I always learn something from your excellent videos. I have been interested in Pluto for a while and have seen somewhere that you can integrate you live OTA channels into the Pluto guide. Have you seen anything about that or know how to do that? Thanks.

[@TorrentFiend10]

I'm shocked that you left out Vudu. Vudu is owned by Walmart and they offer loads of free content that rotates often. Always something good. All people need is a free Walmart account to sign in. You can easily create one on Walmart's website for free and then start streaming free content in their Vudu app. a few recent favorites I enjoyed watching on there was Demolition Man which is a favorite Stallone and Snipes movie, all of the matrix movies, Con Air. Same deal as services like Tubi but always at least a few things Worth re-watching or seeing for the first time. A couple other honorable mentions I would also include is popcornflix. I recently watched Chinatown and Beverly Hills cop 3 on that app. It can be hit-and-miss sometimes but they definitely have a lot of good content that pops up as well. FilmRise has lots of good old TV shows and movies as well.quality of selection can dip a little bit but they still have a lot of old favorites for anyone who grew up in the 80s and 90s.

[@writerpatrick]

Most don't work outside the US. It would be good to have a list of sites for Canadians or those in the UK.

Are the Pluto movies the edited for TV versions?

[@AAWinnerMichaelCaine]

No, they're the theatrical cuts unless otherwise noted (director's cuts or extended). PlutoTV doesn't arbitrarily censor anything. If you want to hide certain channels (so the kids can't see them), you can do so by making a login account with PlutoTV.

Do you think we will ever get the local OTA channels free to watch on an app? We do get some of them to watch with a digital antenna, but things, such as the weather, or even the neighbors who live above us walking around, can cause the channels to go out. I'm guessing the cable companies still have some type of contract on those. I hope that changes.

[@AAWinnerMichaelCaine]

I think eventually. Rural areas simply can't get OTA, at all. The only way to get those stations is through satellite or web streaming services. There's not much of a point to prioritize OTA broadcasts over setting up a stream anyone can access regardless of their distance from a broadcast source.

The only thing I on Pluto that I'm disappointed in is the timeline doesn't scroll past a couple of hours to see what's coming up later on. If they could do that for at least 6 hours ahead then I'd love it a lot more. The ROKU's own name channel is a favorite of mine. Then TUBI Tv is my next favorite. CRACKLE would be great - BUT - the programing does not pause for very long. It will unpause before I get done getting a drink of water. Great content but the pause issue sucks.

Cut the amount of adds and maybe it would be worth it , but they are just like regular pay TV, to many commercials for a half hour or even an show , and not enough channels I will even watch , having 100 channels doesn't mean anything if they aren't ones you wanna watch.

[@rwafford1]

Actually, Pluto's ad breaks are often the same in length or less than broadcast TV. You still might be seeing more commercials, though. Pluto also plays 10 and 15 second commercials which broadcast TV doesn't do. You can fit more 15 second commercials into a 3 minute ad break than the usual 30 or 60 second commercials.

Not no more. You had to rent a modem from them before but now it works with your own modem. When they first launched it, it was like 5 bucks a month. Now they are giving you a box for free if you have internet service with them. The downside is if you want more boxes it's a max of 3 I believe and the other 2 boxes would come with a monthly fee. So you could save by not having to buy a roku or fire stick for first box.
