What is Redbox?

Redbox, one of the popular online video rental services, has branched out into the Live TV domain with its free but ad-supported, Live TV Streaming service.

Redbox has branded its new Live TV service as Redbox Free Live TV and currently offers dozens of TV channels in various categories, including Movies, TV, Entertainment, News, and Kids. The company is also regularly increasing the number of channels.

Redbox Free Live TV is currently available only in the USA and offers some popular channels like TMZ, USA Today, NowThis, Dove, Fail Army, and more. If you are outside the USA, you can also access this service with the help of ExpressVPN.

In addition, Redbox has introduced 3 new in-house channels branded as:

Redbox Comedy
Redbox Spotlight
Redbox Rush

Redbox Free Live TV is truly free. You do not require a subscription. You don’t even need to create an account. Just visit the Redbox Website and start streaming live TV.

Attention FireStick Users

Governments and ISPs across the world monitor their users' online activities. If you use third-party streaming apps on your Fire TV Stick, you should always use a good FireStick VPN and hide your identity so your movie-viewing experience doesn’t take a bad turn. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone.

I use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including Amazon Fire TV Stick. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 61% on the 2-year plan.

Here is why you must use a VPN all the time.
