The Best Streaming Services Reviewed and Compared

It’s 2022, and if you haven’t cut the cable cord yet, it’s time to consider making the switch to streaming. With a ton of affordable options in the marketplace, streaming services get you the same content as conventional cable, with the added convenience of taking your programming on the go — whether on your phone, tablet, or laptop. It only takes a simple app or website to connect, which means you can log in and start streaming your favorite shows and movies anywhere with a WiFi connection.To get more news about 39bet-ba càng-tiến lên miền bắc-máy đua ngựa-đua ngựa-đua chó, you can visit official website.

We’ve reviewed seven of the most popular streaming services available right now, to help you find the one that’s best for you. Many of them are currently offering free trials, to help get you through any stretch of boredom. Test out each service for free, then find the one that’s right for you.
SlingTV is one of the best values in the marketplace when it comes to streaming services. Its live-TV plans let you customize what you want and start at just $35 a month. There’s no long-term contract to commit to and no hidden fees or confusing tiered pricing.

We like to think of SlingTV like building the perfect bento box of content. Start with one of the company’s base subscriptions (which includes most local networks), then add whatever a la carte channels you want. The $35 “Sling Blue” package is great for sports fans, with access to Fox Sports, NFL Network, and NBC Sports, in addition to popular channels like AMC, Bravo, and FX. The “Sling Orange” package, meanwhile, gets you ESPN, TNT, Disney, and more.

There are a couple of solid options for sports fans, and both offer different pros and cons. Things to consider: what sports you actually follow and when you like to watch (i.e. live as it happens, or via a replay you can pause and fast-forward through). It’s good to consider just how invested you are in the games too, namely whether or not you want the postgame analysis and specialty programs dedicated to your favorite team or sport.

ESPN+
The latest entry to the sports streaming marketplace is ESPN+, the sports broadcaster’s new direct-to-consumer streaming service. For $6.99 a month, customers get access to hundreds of live MLB, MLS, and NHL games, along with UFC Fight Nights, Top Rank Boxing, and live matches from Grand Slam Tennis (i.e. the U.S. Open and Wimbledon). European soccer fans can stream Serie A, FA Cup, and EFL matches live, and there’s access to other popular international sports like cricket and rugby as well. ESPN is also known for their solid coverage of college sports like football, men’s and women’s basketball, and lacrosse.
Once upon a time, watching a TV show meant you actually had to sit in front of a television set and watch a series developed specifically for that set. Now, thanks to “over the top” providers like Hulu and Apple TV+, a ton of studios are developing original “television” content that you can watch on your phone, computer, or tablet (though yes, you can watch them on a traditional TV too).

Hulu
We like Hulu, which has held its ground against Netflix thanks to critically acclaimed original shows like The Handmaid’s Tale, High Fidelity and reality TV series like the return of The Kardashians. Hulu has also garnered attention with buzzy movies and documentaries like the Tina Turner doc, Tina, the buzzy, The Dropout, and Nomadland, which earned an Oscar nod for Best Picture last year. Hulu also offers a ton of on-demand content (more than 85,000 episodes according to 2018 figures) that spans dramas, comedies, reality shows, and kids programming. It also has a ton of international series, in case you want to get your Love Island UK fix.
Discovery+ premiered earlier this year to fill a big void in the TV streaming “wars.”

The service contains shows from popular cable channels like HGTV, Food Network, Animal Planet, OWN, Discovery, History, AE, Lifetime, and the Travel Channel.

Hit shows like Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, 90 Day Fiance, Naked Afraid, Ghost Adventures, How It’s Made, and Deadliest Catch are a welcome contrast to sitcoms and Sci-Fi shows offered by other services, and help this service stand out. Discovery+’s catalogue also includes BBC documentaries like Planet Earth II, Serengeti, and Africa.
