Weather Nations far better than weather channel they're not biased
That's a good point about traditional TV stations "double dipping." I hadn't considered that. Good call, UA-cam guy.
OTA, SlingTV, and Pluto TV - best $35 a month spent - and everything I care about on network TV. My Roku; PBS, UA-cam, ABC and NBC apps - all i can ever want to watch. This is the golden age of options in the tv world. Will never miss the old school cable contracts.
Often a golden age is followed by a dark age. Enjoy while you still can! There are plenty of business people out there who don't like the words "free" or "cheap" and won't stop until they find a way to cash in on what the public enjoys.
How much you paying for sling tv?
Only a matter of time until it turns into a cable model with contracts. Most streaming services operate at a loss and many have gone under...just like the old days of cable.
I'm just getting acquainted w Pluto, but so far, I'm loving it. My favourite thing is the classic shows. The first thing I watched was the Dick Van Dyke Show. No fees, no subscription, no login, just turn it on and watch. It's great. 👍
I've been OTA and Pluto for 6 months. Pluto has variety, something for everyone even if everything isn't for you. It's been great on my phone with unlimited data, especially during travel.
I got the app on my Galaxy and I'm enjoying what's offered like Impact Wrestling, anime, uncensored standup, riding through Norway, music, weed culture, cooking and more. Blows Crackle out of the water.
Clavinthomasgmail
Hey, thanks I never heard of Crackle. Now I have Pluto and Crackle. You're the best!!!
I don't think the commercials are overbearing for most Pluto channels, but I do think it varies depending on what "channel" you are watching. The music channels alone make Pluto worthy of being in your device's lineup of services. Finally, a word about commercials for streams in general : I wish developers would come up with "smart" ways to inject them. Generally, they can just cut in mid scene, mid sentence, or even mid spoken word. :) If they had a little bit of AI software to find natural pauses, scene transitions, etc. in content, it would greatly improve the experience.
Russell Flowers When I’ve watched some of the “binge” channels where it’s all one show they usually have the ads at the appropriate breaks, but it’s often a few seconds too early or too late.
Weather nation is great if anyone misses the weather channel when they cut the cord, it's a great weather channel alternative. Pluto TV is a must have for any streaming device.
I just watched "In Harm's Way" on Pluto TV the other day. Hadn't seen that movie for a number of years. I'm glad that you're putting out the word as I believe the content will only increase and improve over time. This is what digital television broadcast with all of its subchannel options should be like if people support that as well. I feel like I"m giving my cable provider a swift kick in the nuts every time I watch Pluto Tv and hopefully more sites like it. Here's hoping.
I’ve been watching Pluto for a while now it just keeps getting better and better
I like the recent facelift for 2020. I've had a smart TV for a few months now and only now I've noticed that Pluto also has TV and Movies on demand.
Pluto tv just added Showtime to the new channel it has every show like Ray Donovan the l word and all the other Showtime shows
Great overview and review video, Tyler - thanks for taking the time and effort to make this for us!
Good review! Pluto is my "go to" when I'm just wanting background noise and they have some good choices. I've been watching Doctor Who for several weeks! LOL
Whitney Wells that’s too long. Stop and shower. Maybe eat something.
@@westmcgee9320 LOL
i wish they would have an option to create a watchlist for the on demand shows and movies, even Tubi has this option and its free
Tubi is awesome.
Is Tubi like Pluto? I’ve never viewed it before
It does have the option but you need to activate it and do it on your phone. It also will allow you to control the menu from your phone. So it makes it easier.
@@DanBuch-vt3rh i'm logged into my phone with pluto tv and theres no watchlist for movies or shows or an option to activate it anywhere
Create an account and you can do that.
Was amazed with the quality of this service! Hard to beat.
I'm in the UK and already use Pluto TV, but after watching this I see different content available in the USA. So now I use VPN change my location to the States brilliant works a treat
I don't know what VPN is?
@@tracey3046 I use Touch VPN its free on Google playstore. Virtual private network, to change my location from uk to usa.
Thanks! Really good information.
Thanks for sharing this kind of information.
We've had a smart TV for about 6 months. Unfortunately, the TV is smarter than we are, (we're both in our mid 70's), so until recently we have just watched broadcast television. Now we've ventured into the stuff that seemed so Intimdating. It took a couple of months to get used to a remote with NO NUMBERS, and a new TV with only ONE BUTTON to control EVERYTHING on the TV. Channel selection, volume control, mute, brightness, color, contrast, and about 3,000 other functions.... FROM ONE SINGLE BUTTON. Wow, how convenient. (And I thought programming a VCR was difficult about 30 years ago!)
I'll get it figured out, or perhaps adopt a teenager to do stuff around here!
>>>>UPDATE
Just discovered this service!! I am a classic Dr Who fan and have loved seeing the REAL Dr Who. One problem I have seen is all the shows are not on here. I have noticed some shows are missing. Like one of the Doctors companions will be in one show and disappear in the next, I know what happened to him or her , but hey skipped the show. Other than that...... its great! And it's FREE!
I've been watching Pluto TV for a year. I think it's a great option for a free TV app.
Between Pluto, XUMO, STIRR, and the Roku channel, there are hundreds of free channels.
I've been using it on my Chromecast. , and it works great.
My aunt cut the cord this year and told me about Pluto tv, and I've been reluctant to try it, well ill try it . Thanks for the review. I still have "basic" cable because certain channels I cannot receive OTA. Its my location..
Just discovered this on my VIzio TV and I LOVE IT.
Me too
Thank you Pluto is outstanding love MST 3000 !
and RiffTrax!
Cable companies in trouble
Cable Company : would you like to have cable service for 50 dollar a month Sr ??
Me: no thanks..I have pluto.
cable companies prey on old people who don't own or don't know how to use a smart phone aside of making phone calls. That's a shame also
@@monmixer My mother is in her 80s and cut the cable. She loves it. Just sit down and talk to them, they went to the moon, they are not dumb !
Pluto and Amazon Prime plus You tube. I get free shipping plus a lot of tv content and movies, redbox style for 14 bucks a month. i fdo have to pay for internet but we all do to be able to get any of this stuff. Let's not forget youtube also which is loaded with daily news and much other content that covers a whole spectrum and even kids learning shows if you just have internet and a pc or smart tv.
lo
I LOVE Pluto TV! I watch the Adams Family Channel all the time!
I have Pluto on my iPad and iPhone. I watch a lot on my iPad when just kicked back in the evenings and relaxing. I think it's awesome!
Pluto is great...a few fixes to their user interface would really help. Making a favorite channel list that actually works, a channel return option and fixing how the ads cut the shows at odd spots. Great app for cheap folks like me...lol
During your demonstration I was amazed at how quickly you were able to change channels on Pluto TV. On my TV it takes several seconds up to 30 seconds or so to change channels.
Some of the older smart TV's have rather slow Android processors with considerable lag in functions. Bypassing the TV's internal processor by adding a new ROKU, Apple or other external streaming box will update your old TV and make functions lightning fast. Streaming boxes start at about $50.
@@chrisgraham2904 Thanks for the reply. You are right Chris. Some time ago I added a Roku and use it almost exclusively for on-line content. Works so much better than the hardware in my Sony TV. It is the newest of five televisions in my home, but technology changes so quickly.
Thanks! I learned about it by watching your channel! You definitely deserve more subs!!!!
Thank you for your review on Pluto tv antenna man!
Our new Vizio TV came with PlutoTV. I'm pretty impressed with it. 👍
Good Tv
I have this app. It's absolutely fantastic. I love this app!
I have been using Pluto TV since about last year on my Amazon Fire Stick and also on my smartphone.
It's so good that I don't bother to pay $50 USD a month for cable TV from my city cable TV provider.
I enjoy saving money.
Great timing as I just found this app on my son's Samsung TV by accident while at his house yesterday. It's pretty interesting and I think I am doing to invest in a couple of Fire sticks to see if cutting the cord will be worth considering
This and Other free channels on ROKU + OTA antenna = Just about all you need!
There's just too much entertainment on this planet.
It's called "Bread and Circus"...
TotoFrancey. Most of it is garbage streaming sites included.
Including PornHub!
The advertisements on the app are really explicit bad for children 👎
Seeking Jesus is the only way to heaven
You are the best dude! Thanks for this!
I just started to follow you about a month a go ..ive cut my cable hd box with dvr never used it so i just went with internet service from my isp Xfinity so i got a great deal i get 600mbps and basic 10 channels i dont use them but i got the phone service also indont use but with this package its only 89$ a month .now the reason for my comment is i have a Samsung smart tv with the tv plus built in its only a Samsung tv thing but now you just told me about pluto and i absolutely love it ty soo much it clearly is proven with a little research you can cut the cable from your provider and hell i love these channels better that cable had between pluto tv and the 70+ i get from the smar tv plus app on my Samsung tv its all i need sorry for the long comment but i wanted to share my experience and following your advice i am very happy and now saving over 100$ a month
I’m new to the streaming and cord cutting game...had no clue..I will give it a look..thank you!!
Hello! I've been enjoying the 'Pluto TV' app. After I installed the 'Background Apps & Process List' app, every time I turn on my fire tv stick and check for apps that are open in the background, Pluto TV is always open. Even when I "force stop" on my settings, it opens automatically when I turn on the fire stick. Is there a way to close the app? Thanks! Rob
Space 1999 is on there! I totally recommend it😌
Love Pluto TV. Everyone has their favorites. I am a bit of a geek so I like NASA live stream which is hard to find anywhere. Other channels I enjoy is Voyager, SciFi, Slow TV, and Science TV. My wife binges on Dog the Bounty Hunter. Yeah you get commercials but, hey, it is free TV. And 4K TV streams just fine on my 1080p TV and has great content.
I love Pluto. Only issue I have with them is they show the SAME commercials over and over. I don't mind commercials, just don't beat me over the head with the same ones.
Yes. I don't mind the commercials, I know that's why I am not directly paying for the content. I just wish they had more variety in the ads.
When cable FIRST came out, the sell was "You pay for it so you don't have commercials"............. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor,....... its 2019 and we are all bent over.
I like Pluto also but you're right about the ad's. The interface leaves much to be desired also but for free you can't expect much.
Yep! Years ago I was then one who got the Dragon Voice to Text prg for Windows commercial reduced/eliminated from DirecTV. After several months of enduring seeing this same 4 or 5 minute infomercial after every 7 minutes of programming I watched (usu after 11 p.m.) I called D-TV to complain. I told em - like you saying - c'mon man...watching commercials is expected, but the SAME freakin' one every 7 minutes!? Then it hit me - why do I pay these a-holes $75 a month to watch commercials? NFL games. My bad?
In order to handle the repetition I have to mute the audio. Else I would go insane.
A "Plutorial," you might say..
You stop that right now young man!
Well aren't you a clever byrd
That means a lot to me.
Thank you
Oh my god! WHAT are you 😂😂😂😂
Great video. Keep those money saving videos coming.
I love Pluto! And yes they have commercials, but, they aren't 10 mins long like on regular TV, more like 2 mins and your back to watching your show.
This is one of the first apps I downloaded as a cord cutter. A DVR would be great. But what I would really like is a search function soI can cut down on scrolling. In the end, you have to make some concessions for free content.
They have shows on demand
@@asmorgreen1239 I mainly use it for on-demand content because of the scrolling.
Use philo for dvr but it’s paid service
@@gingergutierrez6990 Thanks. I didn't know that.
Paul Goodson ok no prob
I have found the search options are quite limited with the on screen guide being a pain to use. Other than that and the same few commercials repeated constantly this service is really top notch. IF they would fine tune the search and navigation features and expand the variety of ads Pluto would be nearly perfect for most any one. Those small little issues are a very minor price to ask for such variety of programming at a FREE price point!
A great review! I just downloaded this channel over the weekend. They have a lot of different channels to choose from. Thanks for the review!
Wish I could get Pluto over here in Australia.. looks great..would be the only thing I would watch
ALWAYS love the 007 channel! I mainly use it on my smart TVs, but I tried it on my phone a few times. Good in a pinch, but I prefer using it on my Tvs. Love from Pittsburgh PA Tyler. 👍🏻
I used to have this app on my smartphone, I would stream it with chromecast. I remember there were a few bugs. I replaced it with tubi tv. No bugs so far.
I Have Tubi Also Love Love Love Had For A While! I LOve My Pluto! And Crackle!
People pay for Netflix or other streaming services because for one they want to and it offers original content you can't get anywhere else.
Pluto TV is good and I enjoy it when I get to it but it doesn't satisfy my new content options or actual live (not curated versions of live TV). For people that want to have straight free or just be cheap, Pluto TV, Xumo, Stirr, and so on can work. Some of us don't mind paying more for what we want times. That's why we all have choices.
You can watch your local news on a app i use it often
We have Sling, Netflix, Hulu, Pluto, Tubi, and a few others. Sling is a bit unstable but good for the most part. There is always something to watch. And I am always on UA-cam learning somwthing different. So we're good.
If you have just one TV app you should have Pluto! It is by far the best!
Binge watching 3s Company'! Yea! Love it!!
It came already installed on my new Vizio.
I really like Pluto TV. The only problem is the limited number of episodes for certain channels like Doctor Who and Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Oh my goodness! After all this time I never even noticed the “Free Movies + TV“ tab! Thanks for calling it to my attention.
Another Great video!! I do watch this from time to time. I also watch Vudo tv, also an app from Roku. Sadly even though I moved from one part of town to another, I Still can Not get Antenna TV. Rats. 😟
Thanks for helping to introduce this great service to the masses.
You forgot to mention. You can watch ota channels as well on Pluto, if you are hooked up to an antenna. Not all but the main channels.
It only shows the big four network affiliates (ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX) plus their respective subchannels. In Nashville, for example, WKRN-DT Channel 2 (ABC) is shown on the app, but WUXP-DT Channel 30 (MyNetworkTV) isn't. Also, it doesn't show the virtual number on Pluto TV (somewhat annoying tbh).
Antenna Man, thanks for the review of Pluto. I'm posting my experience below for other readers.
You don't need to download the app to use Pluto. Just go to the website and it plays without installing anything. I used my Android phone. The app gets a lot of negative reviews so I decided not to use it.
A lot of the content is on UA-cam but there's a lot of content that's not on UA-cam. Like Antenna Man said, there's a lot of content.
The Pluto website playback and channel scrolling was choppy most of the time (for me). I read other reviews with similar complaints on Google Play. However, UA-cam, on the same device during the same times was much smoother without connection type interruptions (choppiness).
I watched 21 Jump Street and Midsomer Murders with frequent, very short interruptions (about 1 or 2 seconds) that were minimally annoying.
I was unable to get a true full screen. The channel listings and a header were always present on my device. Portrait view is larger than landscape view. Audio and visual quality were fine. All buttons are slow to respond.
Overall, for a free service, I like it. I plan on watching Andromeda later (it just got added).
Just Google: Pluto TV
You can get true full screen with the app not the website
💖 this app, I've had it for quite some time now. Cut the cord yrs ago. I actually mirror it onto my smart tv, with a mirroring device (gosh can't remember the name right now, I'm not home to ck it) anyways so I don't even need wifi! I also have crackle, tubi, hoopla straight out of my library, kodi, mdc! Anyway good app! I don't watch much tv but I certainly enjoy the news, docs and the convenience of having all my media on my cell!
Good heads up!
💖🤘✌👊
I watch Pluto tv all the time. I love it.
This is way better than Netflix, I've watched the Terminator, King Kong, and war of the world in the same day, I love it!
jurnagin I’m actually watching War of the Worlds right now
@@shayinla1942 me too, I just saw preacher get killed
Interesting! Thanks for the information!
Thanks for another great video.I have this app on all my devices. On my Roku TCL tv I get 15 OTA channels displayed in the Pluto guide it doesn't get the OTA channels on the Roku sticks.
I enjoy "Midsomer Murders" on Pluto TV, British show
I wish it had a search function on the mobile version.
Freezes on my Vizio with minimal channels shown on the menu. Works great on my 5 inch phone!!
I never realized this was on for FREE. Thanks again Antenna Man, your the best and free for sure. Have a nice day.
In my best Jackie Gleason voice: "Antenna Man, you're da greatest!"
Also for PlutoTV DVR I recommend the app called Tubi TV it has the same content as PlutoTV but in an on demand format I paried it with PlutoTV
Tubi is so much better than pluto!!The movie selection is bomb!
Love your review antana man I definitely subscribed to your channel brother nice 🙏🏾😎✌🏾in I downloaded Pluto app to my iPhone I can't believe actuall live tv in my smart phone 😁
Great live tv 📺 app.no contract no bills to pay.All free to watch.its simular to Now tv.
Pluto is SOOO underrated. I LOVE IT
It has 20 million users so it's far from underrated
I like the channels on Pluto I have it on my ruku tv too
It's great. On all my devices.
Groovy! Thanks!
Pluto tv is the best for real you can not beat free regardless of the ads lol
I just started watching a Pluto about a month ago and I love it. The Asylum channel and the Bond are my favorites. I wish the hide channels feature worked though because there are a lot of channels that don’t interest me.
Yep; I'm with ya. I enjoy the variety of content that's available. But I've had zero success figuring out how to pare down the channel list that I see to just those channels that I'm interested. in. I've even used the provided PlutoTV tutorial, and selected only certain channels to be visible. But it doesn't work. Still have the entire liste. Oh well; it's free. Thanks, PlutoTV.
Yeah, they need something like an "Add to Favorites" selection; then you could bring up "My Favorites." In my browser on the PC, I made shortcuts to specific channels' URL's so I can go directly to them. Example: This Old House: pluto.tv/live-tv/this-old-house
Peter Chase they actually do have a way to favorite channels and also hide channels but you have to use it on the app and I think you can do it on the website too. It doesn’t work though, hopefully it will end fixed soon but some of the app reviews are complaining about it being broken since the beginning.
I would love to be able to just see favorites first and then look at the rest if nothing was on them
@@Shootingstarcomics I poked around on the web version and Roku. If you can do favorites I'm not seeing it. I did find an article via Google saying how to do it, but it must be out of date because what they described isn't there. Must have been removed.
Try this: my.pluto.tv/control-center and go to Edit Channels. It might work.
Thanks Antenna Man for reminding me about Pluto TV!
WOW ! DAMN !
Excellent information !
Thank You so much !
Try uncle earls classic television for more tv opinions 👍🎅🏽
Totally agree on the double dipping.!! Even pay per view fights charging $60 have ads. I'm a firm believer in FREE ad-supported TV. Pluto TV is amazing.
My coworker pointed me to this last year, and I've been watching off and on ever since. If I could get local news on it, I probably wouldn't watch anything else. But there are several apps for a smart TV or Roku menu with free content.
@Perverted Alchemist I just saw that Chicago's and Boston's CBS local news loops have been added, which is fine for me, but that would leave many users for want of local news by other means.
Knew about it 1 year ago it’s great
Haha double-dipping but that is a great point.
FREE content?
Must be from the actual planet.
We are still playing too much for the internet connection.....
Great review! Been aware of Pluto TV for about a year. It’s a great option for free TV. The Fail Army station is funny when you need a chuckle!
The one thing I like about separate services, a.k.a. not all through the internet, is that not all is down if the internet connection is down e.g. telephones used to remain working when the electricity was out (yes, cellular is similar in this case).
MST3K 24/7. Need I say more?
See More Toys rifftrax also
24/7 MST3K? I’m getting it now
I've had Pluto tv for about 3 weeks. I love it.
Great shows and movies. Just wondering how long till I've seen everything or when all there is to watch I've already seen. Hope not for awhile.
I believe they put new stuff on there to watch every month like the Roku channel app.
Thanks, This looks great. Are there more many commercials?
I have Pluto Tv on my phone and tv it's A great App. Just needs more movies 🤘👽🤘
Alas, there are just 16 channels in here in Canada. Oh, well.
Get a V P N, and see if you can stream the U S version of pLuTo? It is worth a shot.
@@philipthomas6808 Isn't VPN just another channel?
Because Pluto isn't available in Canada
@@tmkoson you need to set a VPN through your network settings in your streaming device.
I enjoy many of their channels and on demand..Watch fear factor alot....
I didn't believe the person who told me about Pluto.
I just thought it would be filled with ads and slow, boy was I wrong!
The video is so crisp, and I have never had any buffering times.
Instant, free, diverse selection.
I don't get it. There's got to be a catch. Do they want my first-born?
Anyway, Mr. Beans is on the British channel again, gotta go! :P
I think Pluto can end up setting a standard if more people watch it you know darn good and well it’s going to get better and it will suggest to the monopolies out there they’re needing to lower their prices,,, advertising can pay for everything there’s no need for high prices associated with 📺 television
How do you decide what to watch? LOL! 😱
By the time you find something to watch ITS OVER.
A user interface so simple, it's downright primitive. Just scroll through the channels, because that's _all_ you can do. No, you can't dial in a channel number. No, you can't jump to one of the categories. No, you can't go to the previous channel you were on. No, you can't set up "favorite" channels (well, you can set them up on the web, but they'll be ignored because that feature's been broken for over a year). No, you can't search. Scroll, buddy, and scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll, because there are a _lot_ of channels and _all_ you can do is scroll through them all.
Same for the on-demand content: scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll, because there's no search, no watchlist, no "continue watching," etc. Did you start watching a TV series in on-demand? Good luck finding it again to watch the next episode. At least make a note of which category you found it in, so you're not scrolling through everything in every category.
It's also a problem that you have no idea what's coming up. The program guide shows what's on now, and that's about it. But hey, you can just keep scrolling through all of the channels all day long to see if you can find something you want to watch. Got nothing better to do, huh?
There's absolutely some good content there. But ViacomCBS has done nothing to make it easy to find anything. This is definitely a "when you're bored and just want to channel surf" app.
Gotta agree. I have also found that listings are not always for my time zone, I see something supposedly just starting and find it either hasn't started yet or is half way through already. Really wish they did a better job of cutting to commercials as well.
Yes. That, to me, has always been the one drawback. I know the channel I want to get to, but have to scroll and scroll to get there. Jumping to a channel would be great!
Doug Pardee I would suggest that you don’t use it then. It’s a free service and it’s available if you want to use it but if you have a lot of complaints about it you don’t have to use it.
In my browser on the PC, I made shortcuts to specific channels' URL's so I can go directly to them. Example: This Old House: pluto.tv/live-tv/this-old-house
@@pgchase4578043026 Although that obviously work everywhere, it's is a great idea, Peter. Thanks!
Been using Pluto TV for years and hope I don't jinx it but hard to believe in 2022 it is still 100% free. My Wife and I have a Roku so with Pluto, the Live TV Roku app, and the Antenna for local sports and news, I see zero reason to ever pay for cable again.
