BGR Picks 5 Essential TCL TV Apps, Including $83 YouTube TV

1 articles · Updated · Boy Genius Report · Aug 23

Summary

  • BGR’s latest TCL smart TV guide names five must-have apps: YouTube TV, JustWatch, Projectivy Launcher, Jellyfin and FitOn.
  • YouTube TV leads the list for buyers wanting cable-style live channels and NFL Sunday Ticket, though the service costs $83 a month.
  • JustWatch helps users find where movies and shows stream, while Projectivy Launcher targets Google TV owners who want to replace Google’s ad-heavy interface; neither is available natively on Roku.
  • Jellyfin and FitOn work on both Google TV and Roku, extending TCL sets into a personal media hub and a workout screen; FitOn’s Pro tier costs $30 a year.
  • The recommendations lean toward apps with free tiers, reflecting TCL’s position as a popular budget TV brand using either Google TV or Roku platforms.
