So what do you actually get?
You’ll find a mix of live channels covering news, cooking, crime and sports, a rotating library of movies and TV shows, plus a live guide and search. Don’t wait for the latest blockbusters or trending series. The catalog leans more toward older titles, niche content, and always-on streaming channels.
Is this something you would actually use?
This is where things get a little weird. HP TV+ doesn’t feel like a necessary service. It’s more like something you leave in the background, a quick boredom buster when you don’t want to think too much about what to watch on Netflix or YouTube, or another example of PC manufacturers creating add-on software to see what sticks.
The real question is whether you will actually use it.
If you already rely on free streaming platforms, this brings nothing new to the table. It’s another option in an already crowded space.
It is an application Available through the Microsoft Store and currently has a 4.1 rating with several commands, some of which are actually positive.
Although the software is designed for Windows 11, the requirements state that you can install it Windows 10 and ARM64 devices.
At the end of the day, HP TV+ feels like one of those apps that most people will open once, say “huh” and then forget it exists.
