All these streaming services are just like cable companies… there is NO DIFFERENCE!!! They offer a small package/bundle which never includes all the channels or shows you watch. Then lets say you want to add 5 other channels. They have packages/bundles that include them, but they are usually not in the same bundle so you end up having to add 3, 4 or 5 additional bundles/packages so then you are spending the same or more than cable. Then if you want DVR for live channels you have to buy DVR cloud service for an additional price. No matter what you do it is a rip off. They are ALL the same. Reply
Terra, there is one major difference. With a cable company, you often need to rent a cable box. Plus there are other fees on top of it. With streaming, you get more options. YouTube TV for example is $40/month with unlimited DVR. No single streaming option will have every single channel, so if you really want to save, the key is to eliminate what you don’t have to have.

Its $50 a month now. They keep raising prices, making it as bad as cable with less channels. No Paramount TV or TV land, Comedy Central, Nick…Sad. These are in most base cable packages Reply
Even if what you said was totally accurate, which it’s not, I would rather pay upwards of 80.00-100.00 a month less for a streaming service over cable Reply
Well, you like wasting money then, as you can get many more, and more complete selection of channels from cable for that much Reply
I agree with Jerry…I am paying much less and it really depends on what you consider “more”. I received many more channels from cable but watched very few. I have more quality program from how I am obtaining my services for much less…I am saving over 13.00 per month. Reply
The one primary difference I see is not having to commit to a year or two. You make a one-time purchase for a streaming device. I agree with Terra, these skinny bundles are fine, but there is always something missing. While many have TCM, INSP is pretty hard to find. It seems really crazy to pay for the UP channel as an add-on, all by itself. I am stuck with cable until cord cutting makes better sense. Funny, TV Land is not in HD on my cable. Do they have an HD option? Reply
I have sling tv. I am suppose to get over 70 channels. Just now looked and am only get 25. So I am paying a dollar a channel. Guess it’s time to cancel sling. Cost way to much to start it up. Paid 2 months in advance. Had to change my email address. So they used my old and new email. So I was charged twice. Even told them. Sorry no refunds. Glad I caught it. 55 dollars a month is a little to much. Good bye sling. Reply
Sling is junk, duplicate channels if you get both blue & orange bundles. Addons are crazy expensive. Totally Out For Me Reply
Be glad you still have TV land . I lost all Viacom channels and the bill went up 20 percent to boot! Reply
I have a Roku and want TV Land on Roku, but you only mention SLING, and PHILO. Which both charge. Respond back asap. Reply
Thank you honey haha for putting TV Land on YouTube. I love TV Land. Made great original sitcoms. When my kids were young it was the only Channel we watched back in the 90s. Reply
Hulu charges money but provides no service. I spent hours with their “helpers” all for no service— they are good at charging for nothing Reply
