TCLtv+ Review

If you have a TCL smart TV, you already have TCLtv+. It’s the company’s flagship streaming service, hosting more than 200 FAST channels as well as a choice selection of over 1500 on-demand movies and TV shows. The best part is that it’s all for free along with a purchase of the television set, regardless of whether you have the Google TV, Roku TV, or Fire TV platforms.

What does it do differently?

When buying a TV, you often have to buy other equipment or subscriptions to watch content on said TV. TCLtv+ makes it possible for TCL users to just get the TV with content already available to enjoy. The service also shares exclusive insights into its programming with its IDEO technology.

What does it offer?

Like we mentioned, the service hosts around 200 FAST channels and over 1500 movies and television shows on-demand, all for free with your set. The selection isn’t too shabby either. Some of the channels include ION (which has NCIS, FBI, Chicago Fire, and countless other procedurals), Dateline 24/7, Cinevault Westerns, Waypoint TV, Estrella TV, Canela.TV, NBC Sports, and Fox Sports. TCL also partnered with Roku, Amagi, XUMO, Wurl, OTTera, and Future Today to further expand its on-demand library. But really, if you don’t have a TCL TV, you can opt to access some of the content online on other devices without it.
