SPB TV 2.0 Released – Now Free of Charge
SPB has released version 2.0 of their TV app – SPB TV, simply – and aside from some new features to better the overall experience, they made one major change: it’s free! SPB offers over 150 channels of content at no charge, but you won’t be able to get your weekly episodes of House or other such popular shows. I haven’t checked it out for myself, but I imagine they’ve dropped their $9.95 price tag in favor of an ad-based model. Though many of the channels might not interest you, they have been a god send for folks who want to watch channels exclusive to countries other than their own. It’s free now, so you might as well try it out for yourself and see if you can find something good to watch. Full feature list straight ahead.
