Watch Free Movies and TV with IMDb TV
IMDb TV was originally launched in January 2019 as Freedrive. Freedrive was rebranded in June 2019 as IMDb TV.
IMDb TV is a free streaming movie and TV service. There is no subscription fee. The free content is supported through ads. The ads cannot be skipped.
IMDb TV is comparable to other streaming services like Sony’s Crackle TV and Tubi TV. Crackle TV and Tubi TV both have movies and TV shows free with ads.
IMDb TV is also very comparable to Hulu’s – Limited Commercials package. Similar to the Hulu’s – Limited Commercials package, the ads for IMDb TV are typically short and limited. And the frequency of ads is very similar too. But… Hulu’s – Limited Commercials package is not free.
To watch IMDb TV you will need to create and sign-in with an IMDb TV account, or use your Amazon, Facebook, or Google account.
IMDb TV is one of the best ways to stream and watch free movies and TV as a Cord Cutter.
How to Watch IMDb TV?
There are many ways to watch IMDb TV.
The best way to watch IMDb TV is through your Amazon Fire TV Stick or Amazon Fire TV Edition. Free content available from IMDb TV is integrated very nicely within the Fire TV experience through searches and suggestions. Or, you can go directly to the IMDb TV app on your Fire TV to see what TV shows and movies are available.
You can also watch IMDb TV through IMDbTV.com on your computer, laptop, or device.
While other streaming devices like the Roku, Roku TV, or smart TV are not left out, the experience isn’t nearly as nice and smooth as on the Fire TV.
For your Roku, Roku TV, or smart TV, access IMDb TV through the Amazon Prime Video app. Using IMDb TV on non-amazon devices is somewhat inconsistent. Depending on your streaming device, the free TV shows and movies on IMDb TV can be hard to find. On some devices, IMDb TV shows and movies are only available for rent or purchase through Amazon.
Currently, IMDb TV content is only available in the United States and US territories.
The IMDb TV App
The IMDb TV app is only available on the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Amazon Fire TV Edition. But, you can get to IMDb TV through the IMDB app on your smartphone or device. (For the IMDb app, be sure you click on IMDB TV menu item.)
The IMDb TV app on the Fire TV is very refined and has nice features. Playback is very smooth. That isn’t really surprising though since Amazon owns IMDb and IMDb TV. The IMDb TV app is obviously using the same app that is used for Amazon Prime Video. And that is a good thing.
Features include…
- 10 second skip ahead and rewind
- Fast Forward and Fast Rewind
- X-Ray (on Fire TV devices only) – An Amazon exclusive feature for seeing the actor names, character names, trivia, and music.
- Watchlist
