NordVPN is one of the best legal applications you can use to get through geo-restricted content.

It’s true that American shows have long dominated screens around the world, but there’s nothing quite like British TV.

Fleabag, Sex Education, and Downton Abbey, […]

As the sister network of the much larger Univision network, Unimas also broadcasts Spanish-language content in the United States, but it notably focuses on the youth sector, so along with telenovelas, it also has reality shows, sports programs, Spanish-dubbed films, and imported features.

There are plenty of live TV streaming services currently in the market, but not all of them cater to their Spanish-speaking viewers—which is a shame, considering that Latin TV has some of the most exciting telenovelas and hard-hitting peliculas out there. So if you’re looking for the select few who do broadcast channels en Español, […]

Many viewers get their daily dose of business, economy, technology, and financial news from Bloomberg Television. Since its launch in the ’90s, the channel has featured dedicated programs that focus on business and capital markets across the globe. This international foothold is also what sets Bloomberg apart from competitors like CNBC and Fox Business—with bureaus around […]

With the price of live TV skyrocketing, it makes sense for streaming services to constantly come up with deals and discounts.

These days, VPN and internet usage go hand in hand. As hackers, phishing scams, and data breaches get more aggressive, it only seems reasonable to protect yourself with a VPN, which encrypts traffic and hides IP addresses. And if you’re easily bored with what Netflix and other streaming services have to offer, it doesn’t hurt […]

You probably know by now that Netflix’s catalog of films and TV shows widely differ per region. Whatever’s available to stream in America isn’t necessarily available in the UK, and vice versa.

It happens—you click play on the TV, only to get an error message saying you can’t continue because “you’re watching on too many devices.” Most streaming services cap the number of concurrent streams to 10, which might not be enough if you have a large household or are constantly on the go. Thankfully, there are […]

Live TV streaming services aren’t getting any cheaper. In fact, prices have only been increasing in the few years since they were introduced as an alternative to cable.

Since it’s pretty much the standard resolution, 4k viewing isn’t hard to come by in streaming. Many on-demand services include it among its features, but live TV is a trickier thing. Live feeds require more data and faster speeds, plus they’re often more expensive than on-demand services, so getting 4k as an add-on might be […]

How do two of the cheapest cord-cutting options stack-up against the pricey giant of Youtube TV? You’d be surprised to know that Frndly and Philo have some channels that Youtube TV doesn’t, for example A&E. And Frndly TV has Curiosity Channel, which neither Youtube nor Philo carry. Still, obviously, Youtube TV boasts a long lineup […]

Now TV is the latest, cheapest, and possibly the simplest live TV package Comcast’s Xfinity is offering exclusively to its customers.

Originally a celebrity coverage channel in the vein of E! or Inside, REELZ has recently pivoted to crime, biopic, and docudrama programming.

As the long list of streaming price hikes gets even longer, free, ad-based streaming models are an oasis for the price concious consumer. Below, we count down the best streaming services available on the iPhone app store.

YouTube TV, Fubo, and Hulu with Live TV are all great cable-replacement options, but which among them is the best? The most affordable of the three is YouTube TV, and it’s also the service with the most attractive channels, including AMC, BBC America, NBA TV, and IFC, which the other two either don’t have or […]

Thankfully, anime isn’t the niche interest it used to be. Nowadays, you won’t be hard-pressed to find someone who’s at least seen a Studio Ghibli film, or whose knowledge of Japanese anime goes beyond Pokemon and Naruto. That could explain why, in the last couple of years, films like Your Name. and Weathering With You […]

Frndly, Now TV, and Philo, in that order, are some of the most affordable live TV services on the market right now. But how do they stack up against each other? It depends on what you’re looking for. In terms of content, Philo and Now aren’t all that different, except Now, despite being cheaper, has […]

The Dove Channel is where you’ll find a lot of films and TV shows that are safe to watch for people of any age. Apart from family-friendly titles, the channel also stocks up on classics dating all the way back to the 1940s, as well as many Christian-based programs (it’s co-owned by the Christian review […]

Right off the bat, YouTube TV stands out among the three live TV plans because of its price. It’s the most expensive of the bunch at a whopping $73, but with that tag comes a stacked lineup of channels including local affiliates from CBS, PBS, and The CW, which are the only major broadcasters missing […]

Of the three, Fubo is the most expensive streaming service, but is it worth the hefty price tag? Its base plan has almost 200 channels, many of which specialize in local and international sports. It also has all the beIN sports channels, which are only available on Sling and YouTube via an add-on. That said, […]

We all know Philo and Frndly TV are budget-friendly alternatives to more stacked (or is it bloated?) live TV streaming services. But how do they compare to the popular Sling Blue plan? You’ll be surprised to know that Philo has notable channels the two others don’t, namely, Paramount Network, MTV, and Nickelodeon. And for its […]

Xbox is an entertainment console that carries more than just games. If you go to the apps page, you’ll find plenty of streaming services, but it’s no coincidence that the first ones you’ll see are those that require an existing account to access. So you’ll still need your login details to start watching Netflix, Disney+, […]

It’s hard to compete with Frndly TV and Philo when it comes to price. Even Sling, what with all the recent price hikes, is now closer to premium than affordable. But how do these budget-friendly live TV services match up to Sling’s Orange plan? While all are generally family-friendly, they do have their unique offerings. […]

Hulu with Live TV is one of the most in-demand live TV services right now, and for good reason. It has plenty of live and local channels, plus it already comes with Disney+, ESPN+, and unlimited DVR storage. But it’s also getting increasingly hard to afford, especially at a time when streamers keep hiking up […]

Sling Orange, Sling Blue, and Xfinity’s Now TV are some of the most cost-effective live TV streaming plans right now, but how do they compare to one another? Well, for starters, as alluring as Now TV’s package is (apart from the usual live channels, it also comes with Peacock Premium), it’s exclusively available to Xfinity […]

It’s true that Fubo is more expensive than Sling Orange and Sling Blue combined, but is it worth it? If you need all 190 of its channels, maybe. But if you’re happy with the usual live channels plus Disney and ESPN, then Sling Orange should suffice. Meanwhile, if you’re looking for more entertainment options, then […]

Although leaning on the pricier side, Sling Orange + Blue, DirecTV Stream, and YouTube TV are heavy-hitting options for cord-cutting. Sling Orange + Blue gives you a diverse channel lineup for a reasonable price, DirecTV Stream offers plenty of RSNs and unlimited simultaneous screens, and YouTube TV’s smooth interface remains undefeated. They have their strengths, […]

It should be easy to watch live games from your local sports team, but thanks to carriage disputes over who gets to broadcast which game and what league, it’s just as complicated (and expensive!) than ever before. In the cord-cutting world, only a handful of streaming services carry regional sports networks, or RSNs, but they […]

Most major cord-cutting services like Youtube TV and Sling TV do not carry Regional Sports Networks like Bally Sports and AT&T SportsNet. Luckily, you can still watch RSNs without cable on DirecTV Stream, DirecTV Stream Ultimate, Fubo, and Fubo Elite. For many of these offers and depending on your zip code, you might have to […]

Much has already been said about Sling Orange vs Sling Blue (and Sling Orange + Blue) but what if we compare these Sling plans to the more affordable Philo? There are some overlaps, but each has its own exclusive channels. For Sling Orange, it’s Disney and ESPN, for Sling Blue, it’s Bravo, FX, and local […]

YouTube TV, Sling Orange + Blue, and Hulu with Live TV are some of the best cord-cutting options in the market right now, but whether they’re for you will depend on your needs. If you’re on a tight budget, then Sling Orange + Blue is probably enough to cover the basics. Sure, its local channel […]

In recent years, DirecTV Stream has gained notoriety for being more expensive than most live TV streaming services, its prices often teetering on old-school cable territory. But some might argue that it’s worth it: it has unlimited DVR and screens, plus premium channels and RSNs. With that, however, comes complications and hidden fees, things that […]

Despite costing way more, Vidgo actually shares similarities with the much more affordable Sling Orange and Sling Blue. Like Sling Orange, Vidgo carries Disney and ESPN channels, and like Sling Blue, it has National Geographic and NFL Network. Vidgo’s main advantage—and the likely reason why it’s offered at a hefty price despite faulty interface and […]

Remember at the height of the lockdown when Watch Party was a thing, and you could share what you were watching with multiple friends who were miles away? Apple has a version of that called SharePlay, and it works by allowing everyone on a FaceTime call watch whatever film or TV show you play from […]

If you’re an intercontinental hopper who’s always on the go, there are two things you’ll always want on the ready: something to watch for those long-haul flights and a VPN account to make sure you can still access your account wherever you are. That latter part gets especially tricky with streaming services that have strict […]

Thanks to a deal closed by Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery, you can only watch NCAA men’s basketball games on CBS and Turner channels TBS, TNT, and TruTV. That means among on-demand services, your best bets at watching March Madness live are Paramount+ and Max (with the B/R add-on). You can also choose among live […]

Airplay is a great and easy way to cast whatever you’re watching from one device (usually an iPhone) to another (usually a TV). But sadly, it’s also a feature that’s not compatible with all streaming services. Notably, Netflix does not allow Airplay due to a lack of agreement with Apple. The same goes for Xfinity […]

The picture-in-picture feature in video streaming is a godsend for the multitasker in all of us. Picture-in-picture (or PiP) allows us to keep a video running in a small corner of our device, while operating other applications that could use the lion’s share of the screen. Such tasks may include reading and researching, jotting down […]

It’s true that major live TV packages are comprehensive and packed to the brim with all sorts of features that make cord-cutting possible, like cloud DVR and multiple screens, but the real question is: do they have live Spanish channels?  Sure they might have Univision or Telemundo, but we’re talking about stuff like TUDN, Galavisión, […]

The major networks you’ll need to follow for the best college football coverage are ESPN, ESPN2, and Fox Sports 1, as well as local channels like ABC, CBS, and NBC, and college conference networks like SEC, Big Ten, AAC, ACC, and more elusively, Pac-12. The good news is they’re all available across different streaming platforms, […]

The beloved TCM may be experiencing some roadblocks these days, but that shouldn’t hinder you from viewing American classics. One of the channels you can tune into for similar content is GetTV, which sources from Sony Pictures Entertainment’s vast collection to stream TV shows from decades past. They have everything from sitcoms like All in […]

Plenty of live TV streaming services carry ESPN, but not all are compatible with Amazon Fire TV. If this is the model you’re working with and you’re a cord-cutter thinking of switching to a service that broadcasts your favorite ESPN programs (as well as live events like the NFL and NBA Playoffs), then for you, […]

With Spectrum scrapping its once-popular Essentials plan, Spectrum TV Stream is now the cheapest cord-cutting plan that the internet provider offers. But with that price comes a few limitations. Unlike Spectrum TV Choice, Spectrum TV Stream has no local and sports channels and very limited DVR options. On the upside, however, it has more than […]
