FAST channels offer a more traditional cable TV-like experience where content streams live when you tune in, which may appeal to new cord-cutters. The expansion of FAST (free ad-supported television) channels is driven in part by inflation and the channels’ relative ease of access. The company claims that this expansion will make Google TV the platform offering the most free TV channels within one electronic programming guide. With this integration, Google TV is organizing its own set of more than 800 free live TV channels, including news channels from NBC, ABC, CBS, and FOX, and others featuring popular shows like “Westworld,” “Law & Order: SVU,” and “The Walking Dead.” The update will now integrate access to free streaming channels like Tubi, Plex, and Haystack News directly into its redesigned Live tab alongside its existing lineup of channels from free streamer Pluto TV. A few more apps like this and Google's maligned TV offering might just find itself a fresh breath of life.Google TV has announced a significant update that aims to expand access to free streaming TV on its smart TV operating system. Use of the remote control is disabled, at least for now, and there a couple of other minor caveats you'll find in the source link below, but otherwise it's the full Plex experience on your Google TV. That includes support for the newly introduced myPlex, whose main attraction is a universal media queue that will remember where you stopped watching on one Plex client and resume from that point on another. Almost all the Plex functionality you know and love is available, whether you want to stream media from your PC or Mac through your local network or remotely. It was only a couple of days ago that Google flipped the switch on the Android 3.1 update that enabled apps on its connected TV software, yet the Google TV Plex app is already available thanks to some advance work behind the scenes. Plex, the popular media streaming client that already had an Android app, is among the first pieces of third party software available for Google TV.
