Elon Musk is set to shake up the streaming world with the introduction of the X TV app. Similar to Netflix and other OTT platforms, X will now be available on your TV.
Musk recently announced that the beta version of the X TV app has been released for Android TV.
It is currently accessible on LG, Amazon Fire TV, and Google TV, with plans to expand to other TVs soon.
However, the exact launch date for each TV brand remains uncertain, as seen with the beta release which arrived on Amazon in late July and on LG on August 29.
What is the X TV App?
The X TV app is more than just a social media platform; it’s a new OTT streaming service.
According to information and screenshots available on Google Play, “X-Stream Service TV” offers a variety of content exclusively for X-Stream Service Internet subscribers.
Users can watch their favorite live channels, including local news, sports, movies, music, and weather,
either live or on-demand, without the need for a set-top box.
Features of the X TV App
Replay TV: Never miss your favorite show! With Replay TV, X-Stream Services can store up to 72 hours of shows in the cloud, so you can watch them anytime.
Startover TV: Missed the start of a movie or show? With StartOver TV, you can start watching from the beginning.
Free Cloud DVR: Store up to 100 hours of DVR recordings for free, with the option to purchase more storage if needed.
How to Access the X TV App
To use the beta version of the X TV app, you need to have an X account. Currently, the app is available only on Android smart TVs.
You can find it by searching for “X TV” on your smart TV.
Details on how to subscribe to the app are not yet available, but more information is expected once the app is officially launched.
With the arrival of the X TV app, viewers have another option to watch content, posing a new challenge to existing OTT and video streaming apps like YouTube.
