We all love to have everything in one place. The ease and ergonomic process of getting anything you want in less time and fewer steps create a big attraction even for online streamers. If you are the type of viewer who values such a practical way of going through all your streaming subscriptions, Google TV has the answer for you.
Google TV offers a platform where you can add all your subscribed streaming services so you can access all the content without jumping from one app to another. It aggregates the TV shows and movies in one central hub, organized for your comfort. Now, Google TV is adding a new feature that will bring even more convenience to your binge-watching experience.
If you love to add content to your Watchlist for future consideration, Google TV can now notify you if these titles become available for free. Imagine the time and effort you saved from browsing the library collection and coming back once in a while to check for the availability of content you want to watch. With the Watchlist notification, you can sit back and wait for Google TV to do it for you.
Now, there is no reason for you to pass up on free titles that previously held you back due to the price tag, when they are available, especially on the most anticipated releases. Once you get the Google TV push notification for the free content on your Watchlist, you can click the link and start streaming.
