    STREAMING TIPS

    Learn how to start streaming movies and TV shows.

    Streaming is an easy, convenient, and affordable option to traditional TV services and comes to you over your home’s internet connection. Check out the steps below to help you select the streaming services and devices to best meet your needs.

    LIST YOUR PRIORITIES

    Think about which TV channels are “must-haves” for you. Local channels with news and weather? Sports channels? Movie channels? Cooking and decorating channels? Knowing your priorities will help guide your choice of a live TV streaming service (also called a cable replacement), since these services each offer a different variety of channels.

    FIND YOUR CHANNELS

    Go to www.thestreamable.com or mybundle.tv –  these online tools help you find the streaming services that fit you or simply click on the links to live TV streaming services for details on their channel lineups and prices.

    GET EQUIPPED FOR STREAMING

    To watch streaming content, you’ll either need:

    A smart TV – This is a newer TV which incorporates an operating system/platform that allows you to access, manage, and view online and network-based media content without the need to connect to a streaming media player.

    OR

    A regular TV connected to a streaming media player – Popular picks include the Roku Streaming Stick or Roku Express, Amazon Fire TV Cube, and Apple TV 4K. Before you select a streaming device, be sure to do your homework online to review details about features and prices. It’s also a good idea to talk to friends and family to see what brand of streaming device they’re using. If you’re lucky, you may even find someone to help you with setup!

    For the best streaming experience, you’ll also want a fast internet connection. Contact Venture to learn more.

    CONSIDER ADDITIONAL STREAMING SERVICES

    After choosing a live TV streaming service, you may want to add one or more on-demand streaming services to greatly expand your viewing options. Popular choices include:

    • Prime Video
    • Apple TV+
    • Discovery+
    • Disney+
    • HBO Max
    • Hulu
    • Netflix
    • Peacock
    • Showtime
    • STARZ

    For example, you could choose YouTube TV as your live TV streaming service and add Netflix for its extensive movie library and original TV series content.

    TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FREE TRIALS

    Most streaming services offer free trials so you can try them for a brief period without paying for them. Check their websites for details on current offers. You may also have the flexibility of a month-to-month subscription plan that you can cancel anytime.
