Plex has more than 600 channels available in various countries to watch for nothing.
It’s home to a range of streamed channels ranging from real crime and comedy, to sport and cartoons for the kids.
In the UK, you can watch classic episodes of favourites including Pointless, Baywatch, Bridezillas and Mr Bean.
In the US, there are channels from the CW and AMC, as well as The Walking Dead, Nip Tuck and Weeds to name a few.

Plex revealed in November that it had undergone a massive project to “rewrite our apps from the ground up” over the last two years.
This includes “one seamless interface” to make it easier to find favourite shows and movies.
A new look mobile app was launched first.
And now the platform’s big refresh is coming to TV devices.
It will start with Apple TV.
“We’re thrilled to expand the preview of our newly reimagined Plex experience to include testing on Apple TV, with more platforms coming soon,” the firm said.
“Please keep in mind this is nowhere close to perfect, but we want to get feedback from the community as early as we can. The app will get better over time!”
Streaming bills rise
A growing number of TV fans are turning to free legal streaming alternatives in face of bill hikes.
Netflix is the most recent streamer to increase prices, starting with the US, Canada, Portugal, and Argentina.
US users will have to pay an extra $1 (80p) a month for the ad-based subscription, $2.50 (£2.02) more for standard and $2 (£1.62) more for premium.
Although no price increases have been announced for the UK, an expert warned The Sun that it’s inevitable other countries will follow.
More free streaming apps to try
There are plenty of free, legal streaming alternatives around these days.
Tubi is home to many big name Hollywood movies from recent years.
And Pluto TV has even more free channels with classic TV shows to watch, as well as films.
Both are available to watch instantly without any signing up.
And they’re supported by adverts to keep them free.
