LG has also signed a deal with Lionsgate for even more channels

We already heard about the Sony launches last month, which introduces eight themed channels filled with recognised shows and films.

Top of the list is Emmy and Golden Globe winner Breaking Bad - which you would usually have to pay a Netflix subscription to watch.

There will be box office hits including District 9, Men in Black and Zombieland on the channels.

But LG has also signed a deal with Lionsgate to introduce its own station, called LG 1.
