The 5 Best Apps to Get Live TV Without Cable
You don’t have to give up sports or talk shows when you cut the cord. These apps let you stream the…
Hulu’s live-TV interface isn’t the best. There’s a separate tab for only live channels, but if you’re searching through anything else, the on-demand options are confusingly mixed in with the live offerings. Plus its price has increased $10 since we first recommended it, making it the same price as YouTube TV. Still, it has a leg up on the competition because it offers both live TV and its vast library of streamable content, including original shows like Castle Rock and The Handmaid’s Tale. That’s a big advantage.
If you can live without Netflix, you can cut your subscriptions to one payment of around $65 for its base plan—though that price includes ads on live shows and in on-demand content. Not so great when you consider an on-demand Hulu subscription without ads is just $12. You can disable ads for on-demand content, but your monthly price will jump to $71. If you’re a sports fan, you may want to look elsewhere. Hulu doesn’t carry the NFL Network, NBA TV, or MLB Network. There’s a free seven-day trial if you want to test the service before committing.
