Setup steps

Everything comes from the Google Play Store

Uninstall LiveNetTV

Press and hold the LiveNetTV icon, then choose Uninstall. Delete any old LiveNetTV APK files from your Downloads folder too.

2

Install Pluto TV and Plex

Open the Google Play Store, search for Pluto TV and Plex, and install both. Between them they carry hundreds of free live channels in the US, UK and Europe.

3

Samsung Galaxy? Open Samsung TV Plus

Galaxy phones and tablets come with Samsung TV Plus, which has hundreds of free channels and needs no sign-up.

4

Add your country's broadcasters

UK: BBC iPlayer (TV Licence needed), ITVX and Channel 4. US: Tubi, The Roku Channel and Sling Freestream. Germany: ARD Mediathek and ZDF.

Watch on your TV

Most of these apps have a cast button that sends the picture to a Chromecast or Google TV. On a Fire TV, install the same apps directly instead; see the Firestick guide.
