Download & Install Discovery Plus App to Watch Shows on Vizio Smart TV

There is so much to discover on TV when you can browse channels and see what surprising TV shows you may come across with. However, episodes come and go without you controlling when to watch them. The anticipation for the TV schedule when these episodes will air is thrilling, but it does not do you any good if you missed out on it.

Now, you can still watch and even rewatch all the episodes from your TV shows, thanks to streaming apps like Discovery Plus. You can watch some of your favorite TV series from Food Network, Animal Planet, Discovery, HGTV, TLC, and more without getting pressured to be there on time.

In addition to all this excitement, you can also now add the Discovery+ and stream content on VIZIO smart TV. The only catch is, you have to cast or mirror it from your iOS or Android device to watch from the streaming app to your VIZIO SmartCast TV.
