We only feature licensed services and mainstream hardware. Read our full testing methodology, see every option in the best live TV service guide, or match your channels with the channel finder.
Double-check before buying
- Confirm the channels you care about are in the plan for your ZIP code — local and regional lineups vary.
- Prices and free-trial lengths change often. Verify the current offer on the provider’s site before paying.
- Check the number of simultaneous streams if more than one person will watch at once.
