The only catch is that you're willing to watch ads, but you'll save money if you can sit through commercials.

Free TV app #1 – Plex TV

First up is Plex, which began life as a way to create a sort of "personal Netflix" by letting you stream your own saved media to a screen of your choice.

But in 2019, Plex added a library of free content supported by ads.

Plex now offers up over 600 live TV channels, all of which are totally free.
