This is Rlaxx TV, the app to watch dozens of TV channels for free
plans and prices
Rlaxx.tv is a free platform. Unlike Netflix or HBO Max, we don't have to pay a monthly subscription to access their content, rather it is an AVOD platform or, what is the same, advertising-based video on demand. That is, video on demand with advertising. You can see the different channels and contents in exchange for seeing ads. But it's free, we don't have to pay anything or enter our credit card or the like. Registration is also not required.
How are the ads? They explain from their help page that the rlaxx.tv channels are not like those of linear and conventional television where we can get to see fifteen or twenty minutes of advertising while we watch a series or program, but here it will be a small clip every certain minutes.
We simply have to download the application on the device we want, as long as it is compatible, and we start to see the different channels.
Devices and applications
For now we cannot access rlaxx.tv from its website as we can access other similar platforms such as Pluto TV but from its website they announce that the version for browsers will soon be available without downloading anything. Until then, where can we see it? On consoles, on televisions, on streaming devices and boxes, on mobile phones and tablets...
In Smart TV we can download the application in the following brands: Grundig, Telefunken, JVC, Metz, Toshiba, LG, Panasonic, Medion, Sharp, Samsung and Hisense. In addition, we can also use other devices that turn our television into a Smart TV or operating systems such as Android TV or Amazon Fire TV that we find in other devices.
Does this mean that all TVs of those brands allow you to download the app? No, it will depend on the version of the operating system and its age whether or not we can access these contents. Generally you can see the conditions from the service's website and we can also read how you download the app in each of these brands and TVs.
From Rlaxx.tv they also collect other boxes or services that allow us to have access, such as Roku, the aforementioned Fire TV and Apple TV.
If you have a mobile or tablet, we can download the app for both Android and iOS operating systems through the Google Play Store or the App Store, although at the moment the Android app is under development and is expected to be available from month of December 2021 for all users.
In addition, it is also available on devices such as Xbox and it is expected to reach more devices soon, other consoles such as PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5.
Interface
The interface of this platform is comfortable and easy to use. Very clean. As we can see in some of the photos of the TV, the channels are displayed in a lower bar that makes navigating very easy. In the lower bar we will see the icons of the different channels and it is enough to move through them to change the content that appears on the screen. Thanks to the icons we can easily know which channel we are interested in and we can see a different genre, theme or another.
At the top we can access the channel guide where we will see a list with all the available channels and the programming by hours, as you can see in the screenshot below. You will see the programming details: when it started, when it ends or what exact chapter is the one that is being broadcast or the one that is going to be broadcast next, for example.
In addition, as we have said before, it also has an “à la carte” section that allows us to see content that has already been broadcast without having to depend on what is currently on those channels. We will see movies, classics but also documentaries or series or cartoons for the little ones in the house. Like the rest, it also has ads. An advertising clip will be broadcast every so often even though we are viewing this content on demand instead of the various linear channels.
Channels
At the moment, rlaxx is not the platform with the most channels available but there are more than 25 options among which we find our own content or channels such as rlaxx nature or documentaries as well as others that we also see on other similar platforms such as Rakuten TV or Pluto TV, for example. All of them available in the streaming application.
