Besides exclusives, Amazon also has an impressive selection of movies, recently adding darkly comic biopic I, Tonya, and the second installation in the John Wick series. Fortunately, unlike Netflix which forces you to have an account in order to view available titles, Amazon makes its Prime listings available directly on its website, meaning you can check that your favorites are available before paying for a subscription.

It had previously offered two tiers, a free service supported by ads and a limited pool of content, and a paid service which offers an expanded selection on which ads are still present. Now, you can subscribe to a cheaper tier that keeps commercials, a more robust premium tier that cuts out commercials or the Hulu with Live TV bundle that offers limited commercials for on-demand content plus some live TV channels.
Just be warned that no matter which tier you end up subscribing to, a small number of shows and series will still display ads — even when you're on the service's premium tier.

A few years ago, the BBC only made shows available for 30 days after their first broadcast, but that has since changed and now offers full seasons of most shows and the complete runs of its most popular series.
Even better, iPlayer has the widest selection of shows of any of the streaming services on this list, since it covers with some small exceptions everything broadcasted on the BBC. That means tentpole dramas such as Sherlock can be streamed alongside today's episode of long-running soap Eastenders or Sunday evening favorite Antiques Roadshow. Unlike the BBC's iPlayer, however, more popular shows are available indefinitely on the service. What this means is that if you want to sit down and watch every episode of the excellent Peep Show since it was its first broadcast in , then there's nothing stopping you.
Our next pick is a little different from the other smart TV apps on this list. Instead of streaming videos from a service, PLEX allows you to curate a collection of your own on a media server and stream it to whichever device you want. Because PLEX is free. There are no monthly fees for the base version of the app, which allows you to build and maintain your own local video server.
If a DIY video streaming service sounds like a lot of work and a less-than-ideal experience, it will surprise you to know that PLEX has really improved in the last few years making it ultra-easy to setup and incredibly versatile as a streaming service. No other network has produced quite as many classics as the Home Box Office has.
Many of HBOs top shows, such as the aforementioned The Wire or the sublimely crafted True Blood are available on Amazon Prime Video, but HBOs own apps get access to shows immediately after they're broadcast rather than when the boxset is available to everyone else. So what, exactly, is the difference between the two services? Please log in with your username or email to continue.

I will not forgive this. OK, I think I found out how to fix this issue. The below permanently fixed my problem. Of course, I only have one Samsung Smart TV, so if you have more than one, you may need to scroll down to 5.
For those with only one, you can stop at step 4. Delete the older one. I set up TV Plus with my network login numerous times but every time I turn off my smart TV, it also logs out of the network.
How can I have access to TV Plus without having to enter the network password each time? I have updated the software via USB. I have reset the TV numerous times. Neither of these did anything on my TV.
