It was at the end of October 2020 when Pluto TV, the video on demand platform with ads (AVOD) by ViacomCBS, premiered in our country. It did so with 40 exclusive thematic channels and thousands of hours of content, all completely free, without the need to register and with a mobile application for iOS and Android.
Already then he promised to end 2021 with a hundred channels And, as we approach the end of the year, we can say that he has kept his promise. The three new channels that it has added today have allowed it to reach the desired figure, we are going to review everything that the platform offers right now.
The promise of 100 channels is a reality
Like other services such as Tivify, Rlaxx or Plex TV, Pluto TV arrived in Spain a little over a year ago with a clear proposal: linear television and on demand online, free and with ads (It is what the platform finances). One of its advantages is that, to use it, it does not ask you to create an account or enter a credit card; you simply enter their website or their app and choose what you want to see.
Pluto TV too stands out for its wide compatibility, since, in addition to the application for iOS and Android, it can be seen on Android TV, Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, Xbox and PlayStation, as well as on the web and on various Smart TV models (Samsung and LG, among them).
Regarding its content catalog (all of them dubbed into Spanish), it offers a wide variety of television programs, series and streaming movies at all times completely free of charge and with a linear and on-demand TV experience. Of course, as we have commented before, all its content has advertising cuts, which is free for a reason.

Also, in case you start watching a scheduled content and have to stop it, you can continue watching it on demand.
