Apparently, HP now has a free streaming service called HP TV+ for windows 11and yes, it is exactly what it seems.
It is basically an ad-supported built-in streaming app that brings together live channels, movies, and random shows in one place. Think of it as a combination of Pluto TV and Tubi.

So what do you really get?
You’ll find a mix of live channels covering news, cooking, crime and sports, along with a rotating library of movies and TV shows, plus live guide and search. Don’t expect the latest blockbusters or trending series. The catalog leans more towards older titles, specialized content and always-streaming channels.
Is it really something you will use?
This is where things get a little weird. HP TV+ does not seem like an essential service. It feels more like something you leave running in the background, a quick fix for boredom when you don’t want to think too hard about what to watch on Netflix or YouTube, or another example of PC makers creating additional software to see what works.
The real question is whether you would actually use it.
If you already rely on free streaming platforms, this doesn’t add anything new. It’s just another option in an already crowded space.
The application is available through Microsoft Store and currently has a rating of 4.1, with several commands, some of which are really positive.
Although the app has been designed for Windows 11, the requirements indicate that you can install it on windows 10 and ARM64 devices.
At the end of the day, HP TV+ feels like one of those apps that most people open once, say “huh,” and then forget exists.
