Discovery Plus is a fantastic streaming service that allows you to view a plethora of non-fiction and true-life television series. There are shows about science and technology, food, travel, sports, and wildlife, among other things. The streaming service has over 600,000 programs and many Discovery+ original series that are solely available on the streaming service. While the streaming service is accessible on various devices, it has lately found its way to Vizio Smart TVs. So, let’s see how to get Discovery Plus on a Vizio Smart TV.
Vizio’s smart TVs use an in-house operating system, so one can imagine how long it took to get the app to operate on Vizio’s TVs.

Discovery+ comes with a free 7-day trial that you may use to determine whether the service is right for you. So, if you think it’s a nice service, you can select one of the two offered plans. The basic subscription is $4.99 per month, while the no-ads option costs $6.99. Let’s now look at installing the Discovery Plus app on your Vizio Smart TV.
