Tubi, Fox’s free ad-supported streaming TV service (FAST), boasts a content library of more than 250,000 movies and TV episodes and 200 live TV channels, which makes finding something to watch a tricky proposition. Today, however, Tubi’s 81 million active users are getting a new way to help them find something to watch in the form of Scenes, a feature that serves up short clips of your favorite shows and movies on your mobile device.

Scenes, which can now be found in the Tubi app’s navigation bar on iOS and Android devices, serves up access to “tens of thousands” of clips of a user’s favorite shows and movies that they can scroll à la TikTok or Reels, all based on the content that they like and add to their “My List” inventory.

Tubi says in a press release that Scenes leverages Tubi’s machine learning engine and AI models to deliver a “personalization experience … to surface fandoms and rabbit holes to discover and explore.” It’s designed to address the needs of users who are on the go.

As with any algorithm, as users continue to save to their My List, recommendations get increasingly personalized to their tastes. Once saved to a user’s My List, Scenes can be accessed to watch from any of the devices that Tubi is available on, such as streaming devices from Apple TV, Roku and Amazon Fire TV, as well as Google Chromecast, Android TV, TiVo, and Google TV.

“Currently, users either get a shrunk-down version of their TV streaming app on their phones or are limited to quick vertical videos on social platforms. We believe there’s a better way to meet the needs of mobile users on the go, allowing them to watch both short-form video and long-form within the same app,” said Mike Bidgoli, chief product and technology officer at Tubi. “By creating features that leverage the strengths of each device, we can create an effortlessly entertaining experience for viewers looking for quick bursts of entertainment on the go that transition seamlessly to their living rooms.”

Tubi is one of the best advertising video on demand (AVOD)/FAST services in the world, serving a combination of on-demand titles and live TV for free — that is, without a monthly subscription. The compromise is, unlike the big boys of the streaming service world, you have to watch some relatively nonintrusive ads.

The Valerion VisionMaster Max ascends the projector brand from Kickstarter to CES 2025
The Valerion VisionMaster Max triple laster projector.

It's not easy to stand out on the projector battleground of lumens, contrast ratios, and HDR specs that is the global projector landscape. But one company, Valerion, last year managed to make headlines with a Kickstarter campaign that saw the sister company to AWOL Vision raise a record $10 million in funding for its VisionMaster series of projectors. Now, making a huge leap from crowd-funding to the hallowed halls of CES 2025, the Shenzhen-based company is using the Las Vegas tech event to announce its most advanced projector to date: the Valerion VisionMaster Max, a $4,000 triple laser projector that is currently available for preorder.

Adding to its already robust lineup of VisionMaster projectors that includes the $3,000 Pro2 and Pro models and $2,000 Plus2 and Plus models, the Valerion VisionMaster Max trumps them all with 3,000 ISO lumens of brightness beamed from its RGB triple laser light source that can project an image from 40 inches to a massive 300 inches.

Enhance your TV sound with the TCL S4BH soundbar, now on sale for just $70
The TCL S4BH S Class Soundbar.

When Dolby Atmos was still in its infancy, this three-dimensional surround standard was only achievable with the right passive speakers and AV receiver. Fast forward many years later, though, and now even some of the cheapest soundbars on the market will virtualize an entire Atmos configuration. Results-wise, this emulation doesn’t deliver the sheer bravura of a wired-up speaker array, but it’s going to save you thousands of dollars on expensive hardware and installation costs. 

Of course, not all Dolby Atmos-compatible soundbars are created equal, which is why we only search for the best of the best when vetting through soundbar deals. Lo and behold, our pals at TCL are bringing the audio fire today: For a limited time, you can purchase the TCL S4BH S Class Soundbar for over half off. That's right -- you’ll only pay $70 compared to the $150 sticker price that this model usually sells for.
