Since the launch of premium streaming services like Netflix and Hulu, there has been a proliferation of new sites that cater to viewers who want high-quality content without having to pay for a subscription. It seems like nearly every other week there is a brand-new streaming site launching which provides a variety of options for watching content. It doesn't seem like just yesterday that we had to choose between Netflix and Hulu.
Today, the number of premium streaming services available to us has increased exponentially. There are now many different options, including Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, Disney Plus, HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video, and Peacock. And it's not just traditional television that we have to worry about - by the end of the decade I am betting that major film studios will also launch their own premium streaming services.
Before the advent of streaming services like Netflix, cutting the cord used to be a matter of convenience and affordability. You would simply pay nearly 100 bucks every month for live cable that you rarely watched when you could pay $10 a month for a Netflix subscription and be able to watch hundreds upon hundreds of quality shows and movies on-demand.
Now, with every media company trying to get their greedy little fingers on the potential money that is to be made in the streaming industry (and believe me, there is a ton of it to be made), it can all feel like a bit too much. Not only do we have to pay damn near what our cable bill used to be (at least if we want to have access to all of our favorite shows and movies), but there are just so many out there that it can be a daunting task to try and figure out which TV streaming sites are going to be best for us.
This is why I am always very excited when I find a new free streaming site that is of high quality. The greater number of free TV and movie streaming sites that you can have bookmarked and at the ready, the more content that you will be able to stream without having to break the bank.
Of course, it is somewhat rare that you come across a free TV streaming site that is really worth your time and energy. So many of them tend to be subpar. Out of every ten free TV streaming sites that I come across on the internet, nine of them are either inundated with popup ads to the point where the site is not even enjoyable to use, or, in some extreme cases, can?t be used at all. Plus, there is always the issue of free TV streaming sites being a little too sketchy for my liking. Maybe you have seen the kind of free streaming site that I am talking about - you know, the kind of site that you feel almost certain will give you a virus of some sort if you spend too much time clicking around on it?
On the other end of the spectrum, though, there are free TV and movie streaming sites like VTM Go. In fact, there is something that feels wrong about merely referring to VTM Go as a 'free streaming site.' That somehow undercuts the quality and breadth of content and services offered by VTM Go (probably precisely because of the connotation surrounding free TV streaming sites that I just alluded to). Nevertheless, VTM Go is arguably one of the best free streaming sites in the world, and I would say that it is probably the best free Belgian streaming site, for sure (in my own humble opinion).
Belgium's VTM network is one of the most popular in the country, and it provides hundreds of high-quality programs both Flemish and international. There are 4 different VTM channels, so it's hard to avoid it on any cable box.
In the present day, more and more people are choosing to stream their favorite television shows and movies on-demand rather than subscribe to a cable box. This is why VTM has consolidated all of its programming (from all 4 of its channels) and put it up on the web under the convenient streaming service, VTM Go.
I think it's great that you can stream TV shows and movies whenever and wherever you want on VTM Go. But even better than that, you can also watch live broadcasts with VTM Go. It's not everyday that you find a free TV streaming site that lets you do both; VTM Go, however, is clearly not your everyday streaming service. This is why I think it deserves its place on my list of the best free TV streaming sites of all time!
However, just because I love VTM Go, that does not necessarily mean that you will too. The only way to know for sure if this is the best free streaming site and app for you is to take a closer look at the site (and app), as well as everything it has to offer. So, without further ado, I bring you an in-depth and rare behind-the-scenes look at VTM Go?
Design
The streaming site VTM Go provides is fairly common and quite effective for those who have used similar sites before. Anyone who knows how to navigate Netflix, Hulu, or similar sites will be able to do so on this free streaming site easily. My grandfather always said, "If it isn't broke, don't fix it." So I feel the same way about the layout of this site- it is effective and doesn't need any special design in order to be user-friendly.
One way in which VTM Go's layout differs from that of the big premium streaming sites is that the central layout is almost identical, with a sort of grid of categories and genres, and a side-scrolling menu of titles therein. The difference, however, comes to light when you see how slender each of these sections is on VTM Go versus, say, Netflix. I think that this actually makes VTM Go appear as if it has tonnes of content (which it does); it also lends the site a bit of a sleeker, more modern look.
I cannot emphasize enough how rare it is to find a free streaming site that looks and functions as well as VTM Go. This site, so far, is a total gem.
Content and Features
The website VTM Go offers a variety of standard streaming features, such as the ability to add series, episodes, and movies to personalized lists, and receive movie and show recommendations based on what you have watched in the past. There is nothing particularly unique or groundbreaking about the features offered by this website, but they are all necessary for streaming content.
As far as content is concerned, this may be one of the largest free TV streaming sites that I have ever seen. There are tons of free TV series and free movies available here. You will find a good mix, too, of Belgian and international productions. In addition to all of your favorite Belgian movies and TV shows, you will also be able to enjoy popular shows and movies from the UK, US, Canada, and elsewhere. I do not think that the content selection will disappoint in the slightest.
Mobile and Desktop Experience
The VTM Go mobile app offers an excellent desktop experience as well as a smooth, responsive mobile app. Available on both iOS and Android devices, this is one of my favorite free TV streaming apps on the market.
