While many people are eager to finally cut the cable cord—and their cable bill for good—some families are concerned about missing out on what they've come to expect from their cable TV service.
Indeed, some are worried they may lose specific content and services—especially live television content—when they switch from the cable box to using streaming services exclusively.
But there's good news.
You can enjoy live TV through streaming. Even better, there are plenty of options available to get live-streaming TV.
From news and live sports to concerts and live music, you can enjoy all the best of live TV on your smart TV, tablet, or other devices (like Roku Streaming Stick or the Amazon Fire Stick) through live streaming apps and platforms, just like you always did with cable or satellite.
Thanks to Aspire Broadband's high-speed fiber internet, you can stream the best live television content with outstanding, pristine picture quality—without a separate cable bill.

Below we discuss how MyBundle helps you assemble a package of apps, including live TV services. We'll also briefly profile some of the most popular live TV services.
Experience Live TV Through Streaming
When most people think of streaming services, they think of "on-demand" apps like HBO Max or Netflix. Customers log in to those apps, pick out a TV series or movie and watch them any time.
But you can also watch current, live TV through streaming services. This includes live shows broadcasted on networks, sports such as Major League Baseball, NBA and College Basketball, and NFL Football, and live, 24-hour news like CNN, Fox News, or MSNBC.
Streaming technology enables you to watch all this content live just like you would with cable—only without the cable box, cord, and overpriced bill!
Keep reading to see how MyBundle can help you find and select the best live TV services for your needs and budget.
Popular Live TV Services Available Through MyBundle
The MyBundle app has many features to help you quickly locate and choose the kinds of streaming apps, entertainment, and programming you want—and streamline your budget simultaneously.
Of course, this also includes helping you choose the best live-streaming TV service that fits your viewing preferences (and your budget).
There are several outstanding live TV streaming services that you can add to MyBundle. Below we briefly highlight a few of the most commonly selected live TV apps and discuss some of their pros and cons, so you can make an informed decision.
YouTube TV
We begin with one of the most popular live TV streaming apps, YouTube TV. You're likely already familiar with YouTube. The popular video platform is home to millions of videos you can watch anytime.
Recently, YouTube launched its own streaming platform called YouTube TV. It's loaded with over 100 channels you'll recognize and likely watch with your cable or satellite subscription.
YouTube TV has among the highest number of channels available—including cable TV channels with live television. You'll get all the live news stations and the main networks: ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC.
Though somewhat pricier than other live TV options, YouTube TV has some features that make it well worth the cost to many viewers.
First off, users often choose YouTube TV for its DVR tool, which has an unlimited capacity. This gives families all the space they need to record their favorite shows and sporting events and watch them when ready.
Subscribers can also stream up to three devices simultaneously on YouTube TV, which should be good enough for most families.
Customers also rave about YouTube TV's extensive digital programming guide, which is customizable to the channels you like.
It's similar to (and arguably even better than) the kinds of digital guides cable TV viewers were long accustomed to using over the years.
Hulu + LiveTV
Another well-liked live TV streaming service is Hulu + Live TV.
Combining Hulu's award-winning on-demand entertainment with live TV, Hulu + LiveTV is the perfect option for many families. And with its unlimited DVR, viewers can record and watch shows later without worrying about storage limitations.
While Hulu + LiveTV's 70+ channels are less extensive than YouTubeTV's, it may have just the right selection for most subscribers.
A huge plus for many families is that Disney+ and ESPN+ are included with a Hulu + LiveTV subscription!
Another reason many customers choose Hulu + LiveTV is it allows customers to create up to six individual profiles.
That means that up to six family members can have their own profile, complete with their watchlists of favorite shows and channels.
While only two screens can stream at any one time on Hulu + LiveTV, subscribers can upgrade to unlimited screens for an extra cost each month.
FuboTV
Last but not least is FuboTV, another popular live TV streaming app.
FuboTV caters to sports fans due to its wide-ranging access to live sports. Soccer fans in particular will love FuboTV, but so will fans of many other professional and collegiate sports.
You can choose from one of FuboTV's two plans. Its base package includes more than 120 channels. It also comes with a 250-hour DVR, which is upgradable to a 1,000-hour DVR.
However, remember that despite its large number of channels, FuboTV is missing several channels that some families may want.
For starters, it does not include CNN. It's also missing AMC, Cartoon Network, TBS, TNT, truTV, and WE tv, so bear that in mind when making your choices.
There are several other superb live TV streaming services on MyBundle, including DIRECTV STREAM, Frndly TV, and Sling TV. You can read more about these services on MyBundle and compare and contrast their channel lineups, prices, DVR capacities, and other features to the three apps we profile above.
As you can see, thanks to streaming with fiber internet, families don't have to miss out on live TV just because they've cut the cable cord.
How Much You Save by Cutting the Cord
No one likes seeing the cable bill in the mail because they know what it means; a piece of paper full of charges, taxes, and fees that no one understands. All for a TV service that’s likely not even being used very much.
Streaming has become more popular, but many prospects don’t know how much they can save by cutting the cord. So, we want customers to know how switching to streaming can save them money and give them access to the live TV and shows they love, powered by fber internet.
And when you use MyBundle to fnd the right streaming package, you’ll save money and have fun while doing it.
