Simple Amazon Fire Stick download unlocks 600 channels for free – it’s totally legal and offers bonus movies perk
DON’T miss out on hundreds of free TV channels – especially if you’re tired of forking out for premium apps.
A simple download on your Amazon Fire TV Stick can instantly upgrade it with a huge library of no-cost content.
Plex TV offers over 1,100 live channels, with more than 600 available in the US – all totally legal.
These TV channels are totally free to watch – the catch is that you’ll need to sit through commercials.
And the library has just grown, with three new channels added this week including Dog the Bounty Hunter, Miramax Movie Channel, and National Lampoon Channel.
“From food to news to sports to kids to international content, there’s something for the whole family,” Plex explains.
That’s not all: Plex also serves up a vast library of on-demand content.
It hosts upwards of 50,000 movies and TV shows, including anime, documentaries, and family-friendly content.
Plex has multiple partners that deliver content on the app, including Crackle, Warner Brothers, MGM, and Lionsgate.
The app began life as a way to set up your own personal “Netflix” using a media server.
So you could stream media you owned to a screen of your choice.
But Plex began offering ad-supported on-demand TV and live channels in 2019.
Now it’s one of the most popular ad-supported streaming services on Fire Stick.
Of course Plex isn’t only available on Amazon Fire Sticks.
You can access the feature on a range of devices.
Prime time! Don't miss out on perks
Don’t squander those prime-ium benefits, says Sean Keach, The Sun’s Head of Technology and Science…
If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you’re probably paying $14.99 or £8.99 every single month.
And if you’re only using it for faster deliveries, you’re ignoring loads of money-saving perks.
You’re already paying for Prime, so you might as well get your money’s worth.
First off, you can try Amazon Photos, which is extremely handy if you’re a serial snapper.
It gives you access to unlimited full-resolution photo storage, as well as 5GB for videos.
Second is Prime Reading, which serves up “a rotating collection of over 3,000 digital books, audiobooks, magazines, comics, and more”.
It’s perfect for bookworms, and is totally free with your regular Prime membership.
It’s great to pair with another perk called Amazon First Reads.
This gives you early access to a brand new book for free every single month.
Third is one for gamers, and is aptly named Prime Gaming.
You’ll get free games and in-game content every month on a rotating basis.
And if you’re a fan of Twitch, you’ll even be given a free channel subscription to use each month.
On top of that, you’ll be able to play some free games using Amazon’s Luna cloud-gaming service.
Audiophiles will want to check out Amazon Music, which gets you ad-free listening to over 100 million songs, along with thousands of playlists and popular podcasts.
And here’s a bonus one if you’re in the US: free Grubhub+.
It’s one of the best perks because it gets you a year subscription that would normally cost $9.99 a month.
You’ll get unlimited $0 delivery fees on any order over $12 with your membership, but it’ll terminate if you cancel Prime.
