Five must-have apps to supercharge your TCL TV

A TCL smart TV supports Google TV or Roku, and the article highlights five essential apps—YouTube TV for live and on-demand viewing, JustWatch to see where a movie or show is available across services, Projectivy Launcher to replace ads on Google TV, Jellyfin for a private media server, and FitOn for a robust free workout library—with notes on platform availability (JustWatch isn’t on Roku, the launcher replaces the Google TV interface, Jellyfin requires your own media library, and FitOn’s free tier includes ads).

Plex's $750 Lifetime Pass: A Calculated Risk That Pushes Users Toward Open-Source Alternatives

Android Authority’s Dhruv Bhutani argues Plex’s new $749.99 lifetime Plex Pass price (effective July 1, 2026) is hard to justify since the core Plex Media Server is free and premium features are optional; at $6.99/mo or $69.99/yr it takes nearly 11 years to break even, signaling a pivot to recurring revenue and potential data monetization, while Jellyfin and Emby offer compelling, cheaper open-source/self-hosted alternatives.
