How to use Pluto TV, free streaming service
Table of Contents
If you are a lover of the world of streaming and want to watch content for free, Pluto TV must be a great choice. The platform is free and generates its income from ads, and Showmetech has prepared a special guide on how to use this service.
What is this free streaming?
Recently launched in Brazil, Pluto TV is a platform for streaming free-to-air television set created by ViacomCBS, owner of Paramount Pictures. That way, all the content you watch is 100% legal and doesn't contain anything breaking the law. This confusion happens because it is not every day that you see a free service of this scale on the internet.
The platform has another interesting differential: you don't need to login or register, just arrive and enjoy. You can follow these contents either through your internet browser, on your computer; through a smartphone or tablet app (iOS and Android) or through devices such as Chromecast, TVs Box and a Smart TV.
The service includes both live TV channels and content On Demand. The picture quality positively surprised me in the tests, and users will have no problem with definition or resolution when using Pluto TV.
How to watch Pluto TV?
Finally, we come to the fun part of this story. So how do I actually watch Pluto TV? Well, it actually depends on where you want to watch it, but as we mentioned before, there is no mystery at all.
By browser
To watch from your desktop or notebook browser, just access the Pluto TV official website and choose what you want to watch. Note that there are two main options: Live TV (red arrow), which is like a schedule of live (pink) television channels for you to choose from; and On Demand (in red), which means that set of series or movies that you watch in a Netflix-like model, clicking on what you want to see exactly and in your time
By cell phone
On mobile devices it is necessary to go to the app store, Play Store ou App Store, and download Pluto TV. Then open the app and select Live TV content or On Demand. There's no secret, and just choose what you want to watch.
Other devices
As we have already mentioned, Pluto TV is also compatible with smart TV, in models such as Samsung, Sony, Philips or others that have an Android-based operating system. On your TV Box there shouldn't be any difficulties to find the application, and on the Fire TV Stick everything is very simple, like on cell phones. On Chromecast there is no doubt, just perform the same screen mirroring process, as is done on other services. There is also the option to install on Apple TV, just enter the App Store and download.
Films and series on Pluto TV
To close with our guide, we have separated a small special selection of 10 movies and series recommended by us:
Naruto
Starting off on the right foot, the platform recently included Naruto to your catalog On Demand and as live TV content. The acclaimed anime, classic "drawing" that was broadcast at the kids' lunch, follows the protagonist of the same name and other characters that marked the time, such as Sakura, Sasuke, Kakashi, Rock Lee, Gaara and many other ninjas from Vila Occulta da Folha.
The Expendables 2
An action movie with a lot of shooting, blood, humor, more shooting, punch and bomb is always very welcome. However The Expendables 2 not a great critic, the feature has a surreal cast starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Bruce Willis, Jean Claude Van Damme, Terry Crews, Arnold Schwarzeneger and many others. The slapstick story follows this group of assassins trying to stop a villain (Van Damme) from stealing plutonium and causing a major world catastrophe.
Drive
Moving on to a movie you definitely NEED to watch, Drive puts us in the shoes of a driver played by Ryan Gosling, who during the day works as a mechanic and movie stuntman, but at night does some errands for the mafia. Needless to say, things go wrong, and the film becomes an excellent choice to watch at any time. The cast includes Carey Mulling and Oscar Isaac, in addition to the direction of Nicolas Winding Refn.
The colony
For fans of a good cataclysm, The colony is a Canadian horror and thriller film that shows the world after an Ice Age that exterminates a large part of the population. The survivors live in underground shelters, but eventually discover that the cold and weather conditions are not their only problem, and they begin to be in great danger.
Code of conduct
If you like movies about the legal system, action and a twinge of questionable decisions about the prison system, Code of conduct and to you. The film, starring Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx, features a family man (Butler) who seeks justice against criminals and the failings of the state, after his family is cruelly murdered and abused and the culprits get away with almost unpunished. The film is a well-crafted revenge journey and I particularly like the continuation of the narrative.
South Park
South Park is not a movie, certainly, but an animation with super caricature traits and a story filled with black humor, malice, perversity, mockery and extremely stupid jokes. The show follows the line of those animations for adults, so it's definitely good to get the kids out of the room.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre – The Legend Continues
If, like this one who writes to you, you like a lot of blood, persecution and jokes, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre – The Legend Continues, 2013, presents a “new vision” for the horrific story of the bloodthirsty and merciless Leatherface. The story you already know: a group of teenagers full of desire to perform certain acts go to a house and discover that a murderer with a powerful chainsaw will be their worst nightmare.
The good side of life
The good side of life is another movie you definitely need to see on a rainy day, wrapped in a blanket. With the excellent Bradley Cooper and the incredible Jennifer Lawrence in the cast, the film tells the story of Pat (Cooper), a man who has lost everything in his life, even being admitted to a clinic, and is willing to fix things. Along the way he meets Tiffany (Lawrence), another very troubled person, and together they begin to understand each other - or not so much.
Hungry eyes
Hungry eyes it's a movie classic trash of horror, that is, those movies that are so crazy that they aren't really scary, but they are a lot of fun. The story follows the costume of the prankster, and puts a mystical creature hunting two young men who discover a terrible secret in the basement of a church.
The great dictator
Closing the Pluto TV list, I have to recommend this movie classic. The great dictator is one of the greatest works of the iconic Charles Chaplin's career, which masterfully mocks the cruelties committed during the Second World War by the Nazi-fascist regime.
