The Google TV app’s code indicates that 50 free TV channels are on the way

Many of these stations may also be found on other free or low-cost streaming TV providers, such as Pluto TV, Philo, and Sling TV. However, you would have to join up for these services, while Google is adopting the route that certain TV makers, such as LG and Samsung, are doing with their Smart TVs – providing consumers something to watch with just a few clicks on a remote. Google’s 50 channels may seem limited in comparison to LG Channels’ 175+ and Samsung’s TV Plus’ over 200, but you won’t have to purchase a new TV or download an app to make use of it.
