The Quarantine Stream: Pluto TV Is A Fantastic, Free Substitute For Cable And Streaming

But one of the features of Pluto TV that I’m digging the most are music video channels that will make you remember the days when MTV actually stood for Music Television. There are MTV channels dedicated to specific music genres and decades, which makes you feel like you’re watching Total Request Live or old school video countdowns from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. Adding to the music line-up are a series of Vevo music channels that follow in the same footsteps. They’re great background noise if you still find yourself working from home.

Plus, the good news is that if you’re not in the mood to channel surf or settle for what happens to be playing at any given time during the day or evening, many of the shows and movies that play in the channel line-up are available on-demand. You still have to deal with intermittent ads, but that’s a small price to pay for a service that’s totally free.
