Take a look at my Pluto TV review video for full details or check out the information below.

The Amazon Firestick is a popular streaming device that offers excellent value for money and can be jailbroken with minimal effort. It is a perfect choice for anyone looking to cut the cord, regardless of their experience with streaming devices.

What is Pluto TV?

Pluto TV is a video streaming service presently owned and operated by Paramount Streaming. You can enjoy over 250 channels that are 100% free but supported by ads. As of January 2022, the service averages over 64 million monthly active users.

Not only does Pluto TV have live TV channels but also a whole load of videos-on-demand. You’ll find everything from sports, entertainment, movies, gaming, kids, wildlife, adventure, as well as comedy and so much more, with no bills, no contract, just free TV.

Where is Pluto TV Available?

At this time, Pluto TV is available in the US, Canada, Latin America and Europe. If you are not located in any of these locations and want to stream content from this service then you may be able to use a VPN to bypass any location blocks.

Accessing content with Pluto TV through a VPN is also beneficial, even if the service is available in your area. As content varies depending on where you are located, changing your location to the US with a VPN generally unlocks new content.

NordVPN is my recommendation because it has strong unblocking capabilities. If you presently use IP Vanish as your VPN and want to unblock streaming services, I would consider switching to my recommended VPN. Despite IP Vanish being a safe and secure VPN, it does not have very good unblocking capabilities. Furthermore, you will struggle to use streaming services that are based outside of your location.

The streaming experience is exceptional. Live TV channels stream beautifully, in HD, without any buffering or lag. The only small issue that some viewers might have is the large number of ads.

A great feature if you are using a Firestick or other Fire TV, is that Pluto TV integrates with the Live TV tab that now features on most Fire TV devices. So, you don’t even have to go into the app to start watching any of these great channels, you can just tap over the Live tab and view the channel guide directly from your Amazon home screen.

On Demand

As well as hundreds of live TV channels, on offer are 1,000s of movies and TV shows on demand. Everything from hit movies, to full seasons of your favourite shows are available anytime, on-demand. Available content changes on a regular basis. The following list is an example of what was available to stream at the time of writing this review.

Movies	TV Shows
• What's Eating Gilbert Grape	• Gomorrah
• Halloween	• Hell's Kitchen
• Odd Thomas	• Married With Children
• Cruel Intentions	• COPS

Do I Need to Sign Up?

No. As a matter of fact, no account, subscription or signup is required. In other words, everything is free! However, you do have the option to sign up for an account and that is totally free also!
