Cable vs. Streaming: The Pros and Cons You May Not Know
Though live streaming service has more convience, using cable also has its own advantage. In this article, we make a comparison between cable vs streaming, especialy for football streaming. So you can understand the pros and cons of each method. Then, you can have better choice for watching live football on TV.
Cable vs. streaming: contracts
With the exception of live TV streaming service AT&T TV, no streaming provider locks you into an annual contract; month-by-month service and payment is still the rule for streaming TV.
Cable and satellite service, as mentioned previously, require a one- or two-year contract, in most cases. Some will nearly double their price after the first year of a two-year contract, which seems like a bait-and-switch even when it’s lined out in the fine print. (Always check the fine print.)
However, some cable and satellite services do offer no-contract options (like Xfinity), but they’re usually more expensive. Streaming will likely reach this Hungry Hungry Hippos phase of in-your-face money grabs eventually, but right now it’s relatively transparent.
Winner on contracts: Streaming ✓
Cable vs. streaming: channels
Only a couple of live TV streaming services have crossed the 100-channels threshold, while cable and satellite TV providers offer multiple plans featuring up to 200 or even 300 channels. They may not be extra channels you actually want (like home shopping and audio-only music networks), but cable and satellite easily win the quantity challenge.
Cable and satellite also beat streaming TV when it comes to sports channels. It’s slowly catching up, but live TV streaming still doesn’t offer uniform distribution of sports channels across different services—there’s always at least one missing (like NBA TV on Hulu + Live TV, or NHL Network on YouTube TV, or any sports channels on Philo).
Sports channels on cable and satellite, on the other hand, are easy to get—even if it means subscribing to a more expensive plan. And don’t forget the NFL SUNDAY TICKET, which is exclusive to DIRECTV through 2022 and maybe beyond.
