You simply need to launch the app to begin viewing the available live TV channels and on-demand content. There are no fees, subscriptions, requirements to input payment information, or the necessity to create a Samsung account. All that’s needed is an internet connection, and you’re all set. The Samsung TV Plus app features an intuitive interface similar to other streaming platforms, with various sections, top-ten lists, content categories, and more. Additionally, it offers AI-driven personalization, adapting to your viewing trends and engagement habits.
The live TV segment encompasses well-liked channels for anime, national and local news, films and music, reality shows, sports, children’s content, and more. You can find the complete list of live channels on the Samsung website. More than 100 of these channels are exclusive to the service, unavailable on other FAST platforms. Regarding the on-demand selections, you’ll find an ever-evolving array of TV shows and movies. For instance, in December 2025, Samsung TV Plus is streaming films like “Die Hard”, a holiday classic, “Step Up”, “Now You See Me”, and “Crazy, Stupid, Love”.
