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. Philo is the only one with the Discovery Channel and TLC, for instance, while only Frndly has Dove and Curiosity Channel. But depending on your needs, Sling Orange might have them all beat by being the only service among the three to have all Disney and ESPN channels. But we're not just looking at channels, are we? There's device compatibility and DVR storage to consider, while free trials can make or break your choice (Sling famously does not offer a trial). Read on to learn more about how these services stack up against each other.

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.

Last year, Amazon Prime released some of the most-talked-about titles of the season, including the deliciously disturbing Saltburn, the hilarious Bottoms, and the crowd-pleasing The Burial. But there were also underrated gems that flew under the radar like Cassandro, Polite Society, and A Thousand and One (please see those if you haven't yet). The point is, for all the mediocre films and TV shows big streamers like Amazon Prime pump out, there are actually a handful that are worth your time. In this article, we're gathering the best 2024 movies on Amazon Prime that you can stream right now. Make sure you refresh the page or check back as we'll be updating the list as we go through the year.

This year, three foreign-language movies are up for the Best Picture Academy award: Anatomy of a Fall, Past Lives, and The Zone of Interest. Usually, films not in English are relegated to International Feature, so this is an unprecedented move on the Academy's part. To be sure, there's still a lot to be done for full and fair representation, but it's an encouraging step in the right direction, one that will hopefully lead to more people appreciating the diverse beauty of world cinema. And so, on that note, we're compiling a list of the best foreign-language movies that have come out this 2024. We'll be keeping our eyes peeled and updating this article as we move along the year, but for our money, these are the most enjoyable so far.

What's the difference between price increases and ad plans?

Price hikes and ad-supported plans are different sides of the same coin: both are ways for streamers to increase profits. If a streamer wants to avoid the dreaded "price hike" accusation, then it will remove certain features, one of them being ad-free viewing. Amazon Prime, for example, can offer the same price it's had for years because it now includes ads. More recently, AMC+ got to lower its steep price by introducing ads, while Netflix got rid of its famous Basic plan to further push its ad-supported plan as the cheapest one you can get on the platform. Basically, more ad revenue = more costs saved for the streamers.

Why do streaming services increase their prices?

Between rising production costs, dwindling subscriber growth, and labor strikes, streaming services are having to shell out way more money than they used to. It was easy to sell low at first when the competition wasn't as cutthroat and the market was not as saturated. But now that everyone is on board the cord-cutting ship, prices are going back up to the way they were.

Which streaming service has increased its price the most?

That honor goes to Netflix, which has consistently been upping its price since 2019. It's followed closely by Sling TV, Disney+, and Hulu, despite all three of these services offering some pretty affordable bundles.

Which streaming service has never increased its prices?

Amazon Prime has never increased its price since it introduced Prime Video as a standalone service in 2016. Perhaps in an attempt to retain that reputation, it now has ads but gives viewers the option to remove them for an extra $2.99/month.

When will Netflix increase its price next?

Historically, Netflix has introduced a price change every 1 to 2 years. Since the platform dramatically raised its prices early last year, Netflix will likely increase its price again later this year or early next year.

The year has just begun but Netflix is already releasing new movies almost every day. Granted, many of them are easy-to-film comedy specials, but if you comb through all that fluff, there are actually a couple of worthwhile gems worth checking out. From blockbusters, indies, world cinema entries, and everything in between, here are the newest Netflix movies that are worth checking out this 2024. We'll be regularly updating this list as new movies arrive on Netflix, so make sure you bookmark this page for easy reference. Lastly, if you want to catch up on last year's best, we also have our favorite 2023 Netflix movies rounded up in this list.

One thing about Netflix is that it never runs out of originals to release. With partnerships from across the globe, you can be sure it has everything from Bollywood musicals and impossible K-dramas to Nordic mysteries and Aussie dark comedies (it's a thing!). But that also means it can be overwhelming to sort out the genuinely good from those the outstandingly bad. So in this article, we're gathering and ranking the best TV shows on Netflix to come out this 2024. 

We'll be regularly updating this list with new titles as 2024 rolls along, so make sure you bookmark it or keep it open along with your other hundred tabs, at least! While you're at it, why not check out our 2023 list? 

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, and Cine Latino for all-around sports, news, and entertainment coverage en Español. Thankfully, there are several Hispanic-friendly live TV packages to pick from. The cheapest would be platforms like Pluto and Yip since they're free, but if you're willing to shell out, Fubo, Vidgo, Hulu with Live TV, and Sling have specialized packages that feature at least 20 more live Spanish channels than the usual fare. Sling even takes it up a notch by offering regional packages that cater to different Latin countries, whether you're in Sudamérica or Centroamérica. 

Read on to learn more about the best Latino live TV packages available right now. 

We may just be a few days into 2024, but there's no stopping the movies. The theaters are packed with new films and the streamers are equally filled with titles of all kinds. There's always something new to see, but we're here to tell you which ones are actually worth your time and money. In this list, we're recommending the best films of the year that are available to stream or rent right now. We'll be regularly updating it as we go along, so make sure you keep tabs on this page — or better yet bookmark it for reference.

With the strike over and COVID now part of our everyday reality, it looks like 2024 is shaping up to be the year TV goes back in full swing. In the US, that means more options than ever before, but we're after the bigger picture here: apart from American dramas and sitcoms, we're also looking at K-dramas, Nordic noir, British thrillers, and Bollywood musicals, to name a few.  

In this list, we're compiling the best new shows that streaming has to offer. We'll be regularly updating it as we go through the year, so be sure to bookmark this list or keep it open in a tab somewhere. If you want to catch up, you can also check out our list of the best TV shows from the previous year. So with that, here are best 2024 shows so far. 

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 are there, and we're here to tell you the best ones to check out. DirecTV Stream has the widest coverage when it comes to RSNs, followed by Fubo. Then there's a big wide gap before being trailed by YouTube TV and Hulu with Live TV, both of which still offer RSNs but only those covering major markets. Now, if you're only after live local sports and not much else, services like Bally Sports and YES let you watch both in- and out-of-market games from a variety of teams. Below, we list the best streaming services to watch RSNs without cable. We've also included links to their sites, price guides, channel lineups, and other additional information to help you out.

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+, and Amazon Prime, for instance, unless you're on a free trial. However, if you scroll past these familiar names, you'll actually find less familiar ones that you can watch for free. 

Most of them, like Freestream and Vudu, offer live TV channels you can tune into 24/7, while services Freevee and Filmrise offer films and TV shows that range from the latest to the most beloved classics. The catch is that they come with ads, sometimes too many of them, but seeing as it won't cost you an extra penny, it's worth considering if you're up for a binge. Here now, are the best free streaming services on Xbox.
