What is streaming TV?
Streaming TV brings together traditional television (think cable, network television) and digital video (Netflix, YouTube, Direct TV etc.) under one umbrella. Streaming TV or Over the Top TV (OTT) is a recognized, industry term for delivering film, TV and digital content through the internet, and is different than the traditional method of paying a monthly fee to cable or satellite companies.
How does the recommendation tool work?
  • The TV recommendation tool is a great way to locate the TV service that's right for you. When you open the tool, enter your zip code, this will ensure the channels that are available in your area appear. Then select the channels that are must-haves for your ideal TV service. Once you've made your selections, you will receive your recommendation. Don't forget to enter your email address to have your recommendation emailed to you.
  • The "Best Fit" is the TV service that includes all your channel selections. The "Best Value" will give you options if you want to save a little money by narrowing down your channel choices. Finally, "Build My Bundle" gives you alternative options by bundling different TV services.
  • If you're happy with your recommendation and want to purchase the TV service(s) that were presented to you, simply click "Start My Service". This will take you to the provider's site where you can sign up for the service.
