Content Library
Like all free streaming services, Xumo specializes mostly in older content, with some newer hits including movies like Knowing, Push, and The Patriot, and television programming like 21 Jump Street, Alive, and Duck Dynasty.
However, live tv is where Xumo really shines.
Free Live channels
Xumo TV has a lot of free live channels. It is one of the best IPTV services available. So much so, that it has the potential to replace your cable TV, or at least be a substitute when you are away from your TV.
With access to 100’s of free TV channels, including Time, NBC News Now, Fox Weather, Bloomberg Television, CBS News, Cheddar, True History, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Showtime at the Apollo, UFC, Reelz, and more, there is something to fit the preferences of every viewer. Even competitors stream content through Xumo (FilmRise and Crackle have channels on Xumo).
All of these options have made Xumo TV one of the more popular services available.
Xumo’s website alone sees over 600 thousand monthly users. This is great because Xumo is regularly adding new content to please its viewers.
Ad annoyance
Like all other free streaming websites, Xumo TV offers ads in return for free content. The ads are a little annoying but won’t spoil your viewing experience. In this regard, Xumo has done a great job of presenting itself as a legitimate alternative to cable television for viewers who aren’t picky.
Geo-blocked
