Fancy getting your hands on top TV shows and movies for free? Me too, andSony’s bringing just that toSamsung TV Plus,LG Channelsand TiVo Plus users. The new Sony One service is a collection of some 54 free, ad-supported TV (FAST) channels that’ll bring you everything fromBreaking Badto Game of Thrones.
The new service is going to be available throughout Europe, and while it will be tailored specifically to local markets – so for example the bulk of the shows and movies in each area will be broadcast in that country or region’s native language – it’s going to deliver an impressive selection pretty much everywhere.
This could be a pretty big deal because of course Sony Pictures Entertainment owns some of the very biggest names in TV and movies, from much-loved comedies to classic dramas and blockbuster movies too. It’s a big investment in the ever-expanding FAST market and it means there’s going to be much more stuff you can watch for free – something that’s increasingly attractive asstreaming prices spiral ever higher.

The channels are coming toSamsungTV Plus,LGChannels and TiVo Plus, which means anyone with one of thebest Samsung TVs,best LG TVsor aTiVo Stream 4Kwill be able to access each FAST service, and at launch they’ll be available in the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland.
