Yesterday we learned that Discovery + and HBO Max were going to join forces to offer more than 200,000 hours of movies, series and documentaries through an app that will unify both services and that will reach Europe. And it seems that the platform is taking its first steps before its imminent launch in the Old Continent. More than anything because the app of Discovery+ is finally beginning to arrive on LG Smart TVs.
As reported from the medium German 4KFilme, After its arrival on LG Smart TVs in the United States and Canada, Discovery+ is beginning to land on the company’s televisions available in Europe. The truth is that it has taken a long time, but finally this alternative to Netflix arrives in our country.
