Pluto TV

You essentially have an infinite number of possibilities in the realm of internet video streaming. It's the market that YouTube dominated for years while upstarts like Facebook Video fought for a meager piece of the action. Yet, there are only a few major participants in the market of reliable cable replacement services, and even fewer of them are free. That particular specialized market is where Pluto TV, an ad-supported streaming service from Viacom, the company behind MTV, Nickelodeon, and other popular brands, believes it can make a difference.

Pluto TV combines regular cable channels with online streams rather than the other way around, offering you hundreds of channels of content you can browse through without spending a dollar of your own money. Pluto TV even allows you access to some popular news networks and a number of on-demand movies, which are ideal for playing in the background of your home office. One of the best things about Pluto TV is that it works on almost every major smart TV and streaming device, including gaming consoles, mobile devices, and, in case all else fails, web browsers.

If you expect to use the service daily and know you want to watch ABC News and don't want to scroll through 50 stations to get to it, signing up for the service has one advantage: it lets you save your favorite channels at the top. Also, there are several excellent news and sports channels including CNN, NBC, CBS, Bloomberg, Sky, and FOX available.
