If you’re a user of a Philips Smart TV, which runs on the TP Vision smart TV platform, extra streaming channels from Paramount’s Pluto TV are rolling out on 2021-2023 models.
- Users of Philips TVs in 25 countries, including the UK and Ireland can now access streaming service Pluto TV thanks to a new partnership between Paramount-owned Pluto TV and TP Vision.
- The partnership announced this week has already resulted in Pluto TV becoming available on 2023 smart TVs, with some older models going live soon.
- This affects Philips TVs that run TP Vision’s own smart TV platform. Some Philips TV models run Android TV that already includes apps such as Pluto TV.
Through the partnership, Philips Smart TV owners can now access hundreds of Pluto TV curated FAST channels across a range of content spanning different categories, including movies and television, comedy, reality, crime, classic TV, game shows, gaming & anime, music, kids and more, available directly from the Pluto TV app on Philips devices.
The Pluto TV App is already available on all 2023 model TVs featuring TP Vision’s own improved Smart TV platform and will also be shortly available on earlier 2021/2022 models via an over-the-air automatic update.
