A new free ad-supported streaming service launches in the UK on Tuesday in a bid to compete with other services.
Tubi will launch in the UK with more than 20,000 movies and TV episodes on-demand, including content from Disney, Lionsgate, NBC Universal and Sony Pictures Entertainment, as well as a slate of Tubi Originals.
It includes classic TV shows like Twilight and Fresh Meat as well as classic blockbusters such as Kill Bill, Billy Elliot and Casino.
Tubi is completely free, but users have to watch adverts during and after their favourite content, much like rivals Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.
What's more, there's no sign-up or login process; you just have to download the app or visit the website to start watching.
After being launched in 2014 the streaming service gained an impressive following in the US, eventually being purchased by Fox in 2020.
Now, with 80 million monthly viewers TV claims to be the number one advertising-based video-on-demand service in the US.
