With the rise of smart TVs, accessing various content has never been easier. Many people still look for ways to enjoy free channels without needing subscriptions. If you own a smart TV in India, there are several methods to watch free channels, from national broadcasters to online platforms. Here’s how you can unlock free content:
Several apps allow one to view the TVs free of charge. Apps like JioTV, Airtel Xstream, and Tata Play Binge offer several live Television channels. Most of these apps come with the telecom package you select, so you don’t have to search for them. They are often available from the smart TV’s application library. You can get from news to entertainment channels within a few clicks, all for free.
DD Free Dish is India’s state-level broadcaster, Doordarshan, providing over 150 channels on free-to-air. For this, you must tune your smart TV to a DD Free Dish set-top box and a dish antenna to be available. This service includes regional entertainment, movies, and sports programs.
Surprisingly, YouTube contains Indian TV serials, news channels, and even live channels for free. Some channels broadcast directly, and others offer direct streaming, while some provide streaming of live regional programs. This means you just type in the channels or content you wish to consider and are ready to go.
Most OTT players like MX Player and Zee5 have plenty of free content. However, while shows and movies require a subscription for viewing, these applications grant the users free TV shows and movies and free live TV channels, particularly those of the regional ones. You can use services to enjoy many free channels and content on your smart TV without incurring an extra dime.
