Discovery Plus is not entirely free to watch on a Samsung Smart TV. While you can easily download and install the Discovery Plus app at no charge, streaming its full library of content—including originals and live channels—requires a paid subscription. There are, however, some limited free viewing options for selected content through a free account visit https//discoveryplus.com/samsung.
Downloading Discovery Plus on Samsung Smart TV
If your Samsung TV was manufactured in 2017 or later, you will find the Discovery Plus app available for download via the Samsung Smart Hub or Apps section.
Steps to Install the App:
- Use your remote to access the Home screen.
- Navigate to the “Apps” section.
- Search for “Discovery Plus” in the app store.
- Select the app and press “Install.”
- Once installed, launch the app from your TV’s home screen.
Is the Discovery Plus App Free to Install?
Yes, the Discovery Plus app is free to download and install on compatible Samsung Smart TVs. There is no charge for getting or launching the app itself, regardless of your device model.
Do You Need to Pay to Watch Discovery Plus?
While the app is free to download, almost all content on Discovery Plus is behind a subscription paywall. After installing the app, you will need to log in with your credentials linked to an active paid subscription to access the majority of shows and live channels. If you do not have a subscription, you can sign up directly in the app or at discoveryplus.com.
Free Trial and Limited Free Content
- Free Trial: Discovery Plus typically offers a 7-day free trial for new subscribers, which lets you access the full content library for a limited time without paying.
- Free Account: In select regions, Discovery Plus allows you to create a free account and stream a limited selection of content. This content is curated and significantly less than what’s available to paying subscribers.
Comparing With Samsung TV Plus
Note that Samsung TV Plus is a different service, which is completely free and offers a variety of live channels and on-demand programming with no subscription or credit card needed. Discovery Plus, by contrast, is a separate subscription-based app, not part of Samsung TV Plus channels.
