Over-the-top streaming TV services
A cheap TV alternative is to simply purchase a fast internet connection and stream your favorite shows.
DIRECTV NOW
DIRECTV NOW is a subscription over-the-top service that lets you watch live TV and On Demand programming. It’s a cost-effective way to “cut the cord” and still get many of the channels you get with regular TV service. DVR service is now available with DIRECTV NOW and offers up to 20 hours of cloud storage for shows.
Netflix, Hulu & Amazon Prime
Popular streaming services like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime feature movies, hit series and original shows. For the most part, these services feature On Demand streaming, which makes them a great supplement to TV service, but not the best substitute for live programming.
Roku and other devices
There are many devices, such as the Roku, that let you stream TV from a variety of sources. However, like Netflix and Hulu, available content is limited. Such devices are ideal for viewers who just watch a few TV series and On Demand movies.
Frequently asked questions about TV providers
Cable service providers use a coaxial cable connection and a cable box, while satellite TV providers use a satellite dish to send the TV signal. With a satellite dish installed, satellite TV is available to most homes nationwide. Cable, on the other hand, is only available to homes connected to a cable network and may not be available in rural areas.
Availability for TV providers varies nationwide. To find out which local TV companies service your home, use Allconnect to search for TV options, compare providers and order a TV provider that’s right for you. Call to hear about available TV service providers and plans in your area.
Also known as high definition television, HDTV is a digital television display that provides high-quality picture and sound. Standard definition television is usually broadcast in 480p, while HDTV programming is broadcast between 720p and 1080i. Most TV providers include HDTV service and HD channels with their TV plans
Most TV providers offer discounts to customers who bundle services together. Because of increased competition between internet and TV companies, providers often give a discount for setting up all of your services through them rather than getting internet from one provider and TV from another. Use Allconnect to search for bundle deals in your area.
