December 21, 2018

Cutting the cord isn’t a new concept to anyone in 2018. Millions of people have left traditional cable behind in favor of paying only for broadband internet and streaming services. An increasing number have never had a cable box in their home from the get-go. We’ve all got our Netflix and our Prime Video subscriptions; I don’t need to sell you on those.

But maybe you don’t know which streaming TV service best fits your tastes. Perhaps it’s been a couple years since you bought a streaming stick and you’re wondering what’s best as we enter 2019.

Whatever the reason, hopefully our tips below will make things less confusing.
