If you’re a fan of free streaming content, you’ve probably heard of Tubi TV. It’s an excellent platform offering thousands of movies and TV shows without any subscription fees.
I’ve been enjoying Tubi for a while now, and I recently figured out how to watch it on my LG TV.
In this blog post, I’ll share two simple methods for enjoying Tubi on your LG TV.
Tubi is available on a wide range of devices, including LG smart TVs. The availability of Tubi on LG TVs may vary depending on your TV’s model and the region you’re in. Typically, LG smart TVs running on WebOS or newer versions of the LG operating system should support the Tubi app.
Now, let’s get to the fun part!
Method 1: Tubi App via the LG Content Store
The easiest way to get Tubi on your LG TV is to use the LG Content Store. Follow these steps:
- Turn on your LG TV: If it’s not already on, grab your remote, and hit that power button.
- Press the ‘Home’ button: It usually looks like a little house icon on your remote.
- Navigate to ‘LG Content Store’: Using the arrow keys, scroll to the LG Content Store and hit ‘OK’ on your remote to open it.
- Search for ‘Tubi’: Use the search bar or browse the available apps. Type “Tubi” and select the Tubi app from the search results.
- Download and Install: Click on the Tubi app, and then click ‘Install.’ Wait for the installation to complete.
- Launch Tubi: Once the installation is done, go back to the home screen and find Tubi in your list of installed apps. Open it, sign in or create an account, and start watching your favorite content.
That’s it! You’re now ready to enjoy Tubi on your LG TV using the LG Content Store.
Method 2: Screen Mirroring or Casting
If for some reason you can’t find Tubi in the LG Content Store, you can use a second method: screen mirroring or casting from another device. Here’s how:
- Ensure your LG TV and device are on the same Wi-Fi network: Screen mirroring and casting work over Wi-Fi, so make sure both your LG TV and the device you want to cast from are connected to the same network.
- Open Tubi on your mobile device: Install the Tubi app on your smartphone or tablet if you haven’t already. Open the Tubi app and select the content you want to watch.
- Cast or Screen Mirror: On your mobile device, find the casting or screen mirroring option. This varies depending on your device’s brand and operating system. On most Android devices, you can swipe down from the top of the screen and select ‘Cast’ or ‘Smart View.’ On an iPhone or iPad, you can swipe down from the top-right corner and select ‘Screen Mirroring.’
- Select your LG TV: From the list of available devices, choose your LG TV. You may need to enter a PIN displayed on your TV screen for the connection to establish.
- Start Watching: Once the connection is established, your Tubi content will appear on your LG TV screen. You can control playback from your mobile device.
With these two methods, you should be all set to enjoy Tubi on your LG TV, whether through the dedicated app or by casting from a mobile device
