hoopla digital is the bomb diggity for free Euro TV in North America.

So, how do you get hoopla digital? As mentioned above, you need a valid library card at a library that offers hoopla, then a hoopla digital account, which is also free. Once you have both, accessing content is as simple as visiting hoopladigital.com, downloading and installing the hoopla mobile app for Android or iOS devices, or firing up hoopla on Android TV, Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire, or Chromecast.
hoopla gets new titles on a weekly basis. When you find a Euro TV title that you’d like to watch, best to check it out as soon as you can, as availability can be for a limited time only.
By the way, if you’re also a fan of British TV and Down Under TV shows, hoopla digital has a large selection of titles from Acorn TV and PBS, too.
Visit hoopla digital for more information and to get started with the service.
