Streaming TV

Streaming TV uses the internet to deliver live and on-demand movies and shows. If you have Netflix, Hulu, or Disney+, you are already using a streaming TV service. Some of these streaming TV services are free, others have a monthly subscription or offer you a choice of contract or no contract with ads – and with most you can cancel anytime.

There are a lot of great streaming devices that come in a variety of options, from streaming players to smart TVs – and they are all easy to setup. Our technicians have found the most success with the 4K Roku and AppleTV devices.

Some streaming services now offer local programming, like YouTubeTV, HuluLive and CBS All Access. With these streaming services, you’ll be able to find the local channels you enjoy!

Currently, we do not.  With so many streaming services and channels available, we feel you are best suited to choose the streaming service with channels & programming that match your interests!

Most streaming services like Netflix and Hulu recommend at least a 10Meg/2Meg Internet plan to allow for multiple streams and other connected devices to work simultaneously.  If you have a lot of streaming devices in your home or want to stream in 4k, we recommend one of our faster plans.

Call our office at 402-372-1975 and we will answer any additional questions as they relate to your service!
