You can now enjoy the free channels of Rakuten TV in mobile and web versions . Next, we provide you with all the details of this novelty on the platform, one of the most important in terms of streaming and video on demand .
Until recently, specifically in 2019, Rakuten TV focused mainly on offering content for Smart TV. For this reason, free channels could only be enjoyed through the famous smart televisions.
However, the platform has been expanding its horizons and, as a consequence, also the access options for its clients. From today, the free channels will also be accessible from the official Rakuten TV website and from the mobile applications for iOS and Android.
In this way, the streaming platform facilitates the viewing of its free content grid from more manageable devices. It is no longer necessary to resort to television to enjoy a little entertainment, being able to do it from anywhere .
When we talk about free channels, we refer to linear FAST channels , similar to conventional DTT. A great option for those users interested in enjoying free content in exchange for supporting some batches of ads (AVOD) .
In addition, they will be available in a total of 42 European countries , with an average of 100 channels in each, including a wide variety of genres : news, sports, entertainment, music and much more, all with globally recognized brands.
By increasing device compatibility, Rakuten TV aims to meet the needs of its customers and thereby enhance the reach of its free content . Advertisers will also benefit from this, as consumers will see much more personalized advertising through the smartphone.
In addition to free channels with ads, Rakuten TV also offers the possibility to buy or rent independent series and movies . That is, you can rent or buy Titanic, for example, without the need to buy a subscription.
On the other hand, the subscription fee for the platform has a monthly price of 6.99 euros in Spain. You will enjoy a free trial period of one month, and after that, your subscription will renew automatically. However, you can cancel it at any time without commitment to stay .
Currently, it seems that the possibility of adding ads to streaming platforms is becoming more fashionable every day, even considering it a new form of cheap subscription to Netflix or Disney.
