Acorn TV, which advertises itself as having the best selection of programs and movies from across the pond, is one of the additions.

Acorn offers many shows, including "Midsomer Murders" — a very British detective show that has been running on their ITV since 1997.
Described as "Netflix for Latinos," Póngalo, is a Spanish-language streaming service that has telenovelas and movies. Ever wanted to watch "White Chicks" in Spanish? Dalé.
A creator of the service, Jorge Granier, executive producer of the CW's "Jane The Virgin," told the Miami Herald in January 2017 that it was "Netflix for Latinos."
