Pluto TV Adds Five New Channels: Price is Right, Showtime Selects & More

 

From https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/pluto-tv-adds-new-channels-for-shopping-game-shows-holiday-cooking/

 

Pluto TV is here to bring holiday cheer and some extra entertainment to viewers this winter season. The free streaming service has added some new channels including QVC and HSN, The Price is Right, and Home for the Holidays.

 

 

 

Showtime Launches Free Pluto TV Channel, Hoping to Lure Paying Subscribers

 

From https://variety.com/2020/digital/news/pluto-tv-showtime-selects-free-channel-1234842099/

 

Showtime is unlocking a selection of original programming — for free, with ads — in a new channel on Pluto TV.
It’s a logical bit of corporate synergy between the two ViacomCBS-owned divisions, with Showtime ultimately looking to coax free viewers into customers forking over $10.99/month.
The new Pluto TV channel, Showtime Selects, launches on Tuesday (Dec. 1) with about 250 hours of uncensored originals. The lineup in the linear-style channel will include sneak peeks at the first episodes of Showtime drama series “Your Honor” starring Bryan Cranston and the 11th and final season of “Shameless” (pictured above). Showtime Selects also will feature select episodes of originals including “The Affair,” “Ray Donovan,” “Billions,” “The L Word” and “Californication” as well as the entire limited series “The Loudest Voice” about Fox News’ Roger Ailes and true-crime docuseries “Murder in the Bayou.”

What is Pluto TV, to a NZ audience? Is it online, available on Freeview? An App etc? 

 

I've never heard of it. Forgive my ignorance

It is a free, (sometimes) ad-based platform with LOTS of channels, including live news, TV series re-runs, free movies, etc.

I installed it on our Amazon Fires ages ago but have hardly watched it; one of my sons used to watch a bit of anime on it.

 

Here’s a page listing supported devices:

I am getting this when I go to pluto.tv

 

"We’re sorry, but Pluto TV is currently unavailable in your location. We’re working hard to bring Pluto TV to this area, so stay tuned to find out when."

 

 

 

Does not seem to be available in NZ on 2degrees fibre anyway.

You need a DNS  or VPN service to get it here in NZ.  I get it via my Fire TV.

The website itself is GEO but the streams themselves are not.

 

An easy way to access it is Matts Huismans KODI pluto tv addon.

 

There was a m3u playlist here, however it seems to be down at the moment

You don't need an account to watch Pluto anyway.
