What other channels are free on Google TV?
Besides these 77 built-in channels, Google TV also offers free live channels from a variety of third-party apps. This includes channels from:
Channels are all listed together in the same guide, but selecting a channel from one of these other providers will launch the associated app, which you must have installed. Some of these services require an account, but you will still not be billed.
How to choose your favorite live channels on Google TV
With hundreds of channels available and no number pad to quickly switch between them, Google TV’s Favorite Channels feature really comes in handy. As pictured below, this works fairly easily. Locate the channel you want to add as a favorite, click its name, and then a new Favorites category will be added at the top of the Live tab. This works with channels from any source, paid or free.
Are free channels available on Android TV?
Currently, Google only offers free live TV channels Google TV, not on the older Android TV experience. You’ll find Android TV on devices like the Nvidia Shield TV and other devices made before 2021. At this point, most devices will run Google TV instead.
However, Google has expressed an interest in bringing these live channels to Android TV, but this has not been confirmed at a later date.
We also plan to bring the new TV Guide and Free Channels to eligible Android TV devices later this year.
