Google TV expands free channel offerings to over 800.

Google TV is adding hundreds of new free streaming channels to its homescreen, including native free streaming channels that run directly on the homescreen. These channels require no apps or accounts beyond your Google account, and are available for all Google TV users in the United States. The free channels will be available across Chromecast devices and sets from TCL, Sony, Hisense, Philips, and other brands. The new channels also come with a redesigned “Live” tab on the homescreen.
