 Over the past few years, the number of cord cutters has continued to increase. As is typical in the world of electronics, things have evolved. If you're new to this concept, we recommend reading our first blog article from a few years ago. You can access it through this link. However, if you already have a basic understanding and are seeking more detailed information, keep reading.  If you're in search of TV apps that provide Sports channels, check out our blog article for some fantastic options.
Below, we have compiled some of the most frequently asked questions we receive, particularly regarding whether specific channels are available through streaming apps. So, without further ado, let's delve into the most common Q&A's and check out the chart displaying the streaming apps that offer the majority of sports channels (including the ones people often inquire about).

As the cost of streaming TV apps continues to rise, we have curated a selection of TV streaming apps that offer more affordable pricing with a small trade-off. So, what's the catch? If sports channels or local TV channels are of little importance to you, these alternatives may be the perfect solution.
 Sling TV, Philo, and Frndly TV are just a few options worth considering. For further information, please consult the comparison chart provided below. While the cost is significantly reduced, it's important to note that you will not have access to certain sports programs and local Cleveland channels (or local channels specific to your area).
Please take note of the following information. The data presented in the chart is accurate as of September 2023. However, if you are reading this in late 2023 or 2024, there is a possibility that it may have changed. This could be due to alterations in the channel lineup or cost by the provider.
The electronics industry is constantly evolving, after all. Additionally, you will observe that Sling TV & Frndly TV offer various TV plans. I have indicated in the chart which plans are required to access the listed channels.

When you're prepared to venture into the realm of cord cutting, simply inform us. If you're ready to upgrade your TV for a smart TV, we're here to assist you (with price matching for comparable models). We frequently install these applications on clients' TVs, set up their app accounts, and provide and install streaming devices to keep you up-to-date with the latest trends.
Understanding the ever-changing nature of this industry, we hope this provides you with some valuable perspective on the cord cutting world. Get in touch with us when you're prepared for an electronics enhancement. We would be delighted to provide you with exceptional service.
