A Listing of Streaming TV Platforms
Streaming TV is a term that covers a variety of entertainment platforms.
Some provide cable/satellite-like services, streaming a wide variety of live channels, some including live local channels based on a subscriber's location, to whichever viewing platform (TV, tablet, phone and computer) you desire.
Others focus on providing a library of content - both old and new movies and shows - and foregoing the live TV aspect.
We're going to use this Topic to keep a list of current streaming options, with associated pricing, as a reference for those wanting to keep track of what's available.
Please feel free to comment with streaming platforms we may have left out or thoughts that may benefit readers looking to give a certain option a try.
