Samsung TVs in UK upgraded with extra channels for free

The new offerings are part of Samsung TV Plus, a free streaming service integrated into Samsung smart TVs and selected Galaxy devices.

Wrestling enthusiasts can now enjoy Wrestling Legends TV, a channel dedicated to WWE programming and behind-the-scenes content, accessible on channel 4613.

Eurovision Sport has also been launched on channel 4611, providing Olympic sports coverage, highlights, and documentaries at no extra cost.

This service, run by the European Broadcasting Union, recently secured a deal with Aquatics GB to stream diving, artistic swimming, and open water events.

Additionally, fans of Korean dramas can tune into new channels from Series K on channels 4254 and 4259, offering a variety of box sets and shows.

Football supporters are not left out, as a Bundesliga channel is currently showing live matches and highlights on channel 4003 during a promotional period.

All these new channels come at no extra cost.

Samsung smart TV users also got a few extra channels in March thanks to a deal made with UKTV.

It meant that UKTV’s channels were available to internet-only Samsung TV viewers in the UK for the first time, without needing another connection like an aerial.

U&Drama, U&Dave and U&W are among the channels covered by a new deal.

Samsung shares that its free streaming service is available on all Samsung Smart TVs from 2016 onwards and Samsung Galaxy Devices: Mobile & Tablet – Android 11.0 or higher.
