Other Options to Watch Pluto TV on LG TVs
If the Pluto TV app does not appear in the app store, the second alternative would be to watch the channels through LG Channels , which is really a very similar platform. LG Channels is free as it is based on advertising, it does not require registration and it also integrates other services such as Rakuten TV.
Since LG’s agreement with Pluto TV does not reach all countries and could be canceled in the future, there is the option to watch the broadcast through a web browser . It’s not the most comfortable, since Pluto TV’s web interface adapts to computers and mobile phones, but not so much to remote control.
To enter we will type the address in the TV browser :
www.pluto.tv
If you don’t have a smart TV, you can always watch Pluto TV with a Chromecast, a simple and inexpensive accessory that turns any TV into a smart one.

In general, the native Pluto TV app for LG Smart TVs is the best option , but not the only one. Once installed, we have compiled the best series channels on Pluto TV to start watching all the free entertainment on the platform.
