The streaming has become the standard in the entertainment industry, but there are still a lot of people who don't use them. For you not to be completely out of the loop, there are free TV and IPTV channels on your PC and accessible via the internet.

This type of service is an aspect that can be easily confused with pirated content sites and the like, but this is not the case. These are sites often made available by the official platforms themselves that allow the user to watch the channels, using only their internet.

In these channels you will be safe and seeing everything in the law. What can be a negative point in relation to the services of streaming is that many of these channels simulate conventional TV, so no choosing what to watch or anything like that. Anyway, let's go to the topics for you to better understand all this.

How to watch TV for free on the internet?

When we talk about watching TV for free on the internet, we have to break it down into a few parts:

1. Only open channels will be free
2. YouTube and Facebook are interesting options
3. You can use your conventional TV subscription as a “pass” on online services

If you don't use any service streaming, nor pay any TV subscription, know that the TV channels available on the internet, at least officially or legally, will only be the open ones, such as Globo, SBT, Record and others.

However, thanks to the power of the internet, we now have several options even for those who only have broadband. On Facebook and YouTube, for example, the official channels of several broadcasters broadcast their content in real time.

And if your goal is to keep up with news-related topics, it's even easier to find content on YouTube, especially. the own home of the site creates topics with the most important news of the day where you have videos with them, whether in small cuts or in live format.

Even in the reality of someone who only has broadband as an option, you can choose to try every day free of all the services of streaming existing on the market. Some offer up to 30 days of tasting and all you need is a credit card. Of course, just tasting is not the most viable option, but it is a good option if you decide to subscribe to any of the services in the future.

And finally, it's good for you to know that if you subscribe to Premiere, Telecine or any other service Globosat through an operator, as you can use their login to access Globosat apps anywhere without paying anything extra for it.

And finally we have IPTV, Internet Protocol Television (Internet Protocol Television, in free translation), a way of watching TV that has been attracting more and more people's attention, not only because it is free, but because it offers an interesting variety of options.

What is IPTV?

IPTV literally does what its name suggests. It pulls in content broadcast on conventional TV, but instead of using radio signals (broadcast TV), cable or satellite signals, it uses an IP address over broadband.

In practice, you will have conventional TV, but using your broadband signal. The advantages of IPTV is that you can use it on smartphones, tablets, PCs and also on the TV itself, as long as it is smart. Currently, we even have apps pre-installed on Smart TVs, such as “Samsung TV Plus” or “LG Channels”.

In addition, you can acquire what is known as TV Box. This device can turn any TV — including tube ones — into a smart TV. With one of these, you will have access to free IPTV on your PC as Pluto TV or Plex TV, in addition to conventional open TV channels.

A warning here is not to buy pirated TV Boxes, as they are an easy target for hackers and other criminals to break into your network. we tested the Claro TV Box recently and you can check our review.

Free IPTV Apps on PC

Just like anything on the market, there are free IPTVs and paid IPTVs. Here we will list some of the free ones that can make your life easier when using the PC.

Pluto TV

The service arrived in Brazil in 2020, maintained by ViacomCBS. In it you have a combo with 24 live channels and streaming on demand. It is one of the best options, not only because it is free, but also because it has very interesting channels, especially for children or anime fans.

These channels involve a variety of movies, series, news and some very specific as an exclusive for “MasterChef”, one for “Naruto” and even for “A Turma da Mônica”.

On the “On Demand” channels, we also have a wide variety of movies, series and anime. It's important to know that because it's 100% free, some ads will appear from time to time, but as far as I've tested, nothing that interferes with the experience.

In addition to the official website for Desktops, we also have apps for Android e iOS

plex tv

With a proposal similar to Pluto TV, we also have Plex TV, a completely free service with several channels. The big difference here, however, is for the live channels, where they are all international.

Although not so interesting for the Brazilian public in terms of live channels, Plex TV has many movies, series and anime to watch. On Demand. If combined with other free channels, it can be an excellent option.

Just like Pluto TV, we have a website here to use it in PC and the app available for Android e iOS.

balloon play

Recently, some new features have reached the apps of the Globo group and one of them is having a free part. Even if you don't subscribe to anything on Globoplay, when you create an account, you will already be entitled to 4 live channels, totally free: Globe, Futura, CBN SP e CBN Rio de Janeiro.

In my tests here in my region, however, the Globo channel was not available, only the other three. It works well and helps a lot in the absence of a conventional TV and all you have to do is create an account.

Globoplay also offers a more robust service, if you're willing to pay for it, with plans starting at BRL 22,90/month.

vix tv

Vix TV is what most resembles a streaming service. streaming, after all, it doesn't have any live TV channel. On the other hand, your catalog is, to say the least, interesting. For Tokusatsu fans, the app has Jaspion, Kamen Rider and others, as well as anime. In movies, the list involves classics with Steven Seagal, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Wesley Snipes and others.

Vix TV also brings many Brazilian films and documentaries, one of the most varied free channels so far. You can access the website or download the app for Android e iOS.

NetMovies

Net Movies has a curiosity since its arrival here in Brazil. He charged a monthly fee of R$20. This year, however, the site stopped demanding payment and started to keep only the commercials on the platform.

The operation here is similar to that of Vix TV, without any kind of live channel, but with a variety of movies, divided by genres and popularity. It is good to highlight two of them, however. Mainly for the public old school (old fashion, in free translation), we have two very interesting selections from Brazil: Coffin Zé Special e Mazzaropi Special.

Along with these two, we also have an interesting selection of “bang bang!” classics. Net Movies, now that it's free, has become an excellent choice for movies and can be found on your official website.

Bonus: Directv GO

Although the list is focused on free TV and IPTV channels on PC and internet, I think it is important to mention the Directv GO service, which is paid. It is also an IPTV and guarantees you access to more than 70 channels, paid included. The service works like any other streaming that we see around, and can be used on your smartphone, tablet and, of course, on TV.

Currently, it has two plans: the monthly one that costs BRL 69,90/month and the annual with the value of R$699 in cash, without installments. In the annual plan you have savings of R$139,80. Regardless of the plan chosen, you will be entitled to 2 simultaneous accesses and exclusive content of the Directv GO service.

As with conventional pay TV, the service allows you to add other services to it. HBO Max, Combate, Telecine, Premiere and others services can be added for additional fees, something similar to what happens in Amazon Prime Channels.

Directv GO is a great option for families with fewer people who want to have a little bit of everything and especially for those who have never tried anything in the world of streams, after all it brings everything in one thing, requiring only login and a stable connection.

List with other free channels

• SBT

And these were the IPTV channels for you to have free TV on the internet, whether to watch movies, series, movies, anime and even tokusatsus. There are many other channels out there, but many of them involve paid services, so they didn't make it to our list.
