id=”article-body” class=”row” section=”article-body”> David Katzmaier/CNET Deciding to cut the cable TV cord doesn’t mean you have to give up live TV. One way to watch live shows without cable is to connect an antenna, but your channel selection will be relatively small. If you want more, and you’re willing to shell out a monthly payment, you should check out a live TV streaming service. They deliver numerous familiar channels like ESPN, CNN, Fox News and 더킹카지노쿠폰 TNT, as well as features like cloud DVRs and the ability to watch not only on TVs but also on phones, tablets and computers.
Seven major services are available today: Google’s YouTube TV, Dish Network’s Sling TV, Hulu with Live TV, AT&T’s AT&T TV Now (formerly DirecTV Now, not to be confused with AT&T TV) and Watch TV, Philo and FuboTV (the eighth, PlayStation Vue, 슈퍼카지노총판 is dead). They cost $15 per month and up. Our full live-TV streaming guide has all the details about prices and features, but really, it’s all about the channels.

The big chart: Top 100 channels compared (updated for 2020)
The main difference between the services is their channel lineups. All of them offer different slates of channels for various prices.
Most don’t have as many channels as traditional cable or satellite TV packages. On the other hand, maybe they have enough for you — especially if you’re saving a bunch of money every month by not paying the cable company for channels you don’t watch.
Below you’ll find a chart that shows the top 100 channels across all eight services. There are actually nine listed because Sling TV has two different “base” tiers, Orange and Blue. And if you’re wondering, I chose which “top” channels made the cut. Sorry. AXS TV, Discovery Life, 코인카지노주소 GSN and Universal HD.
Now playing: Watch this: Live TV streaming services for cord cutters: How to choose… 2:44 Some more stuff to know about the chart:
Yes = The channel is available on the cheapest pricing tier. That price is listed next to the service’s name.
No = The channel isn’t available at all on that service.
$ = The channel is available for 예스카지노주소 an extra fee, either a la carte or as part of a more expensive package or add-on.
Regional sports networks — channels devoted to showing regular-season games of particular pro baseball, basketball and hockey teams — are not listed. That’s a numeric disadvantage to services like YouTube TV and FuboTV, which carry a lot of RSNs, and an advantage to Philo and AT&T, which don’t offer any sports channels, period.
ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, MyNetworkTV and The CW networks are not available in every city and availability of these local channels varies per service (Note that CNET is owned by ViacomCBS). In some cities, some services only offer video-on-demand shows from the networks, not the live local channel itself.
PBS is only currently available on YouTube TV.
