What is Streaming?
Curious about cutting the cord and getting rid of your satellite or cable TV? We’ve created a short video that will help you make the leap from TV Cable or Satellite to streaming the programs you actually want to see for less than you might expect.
What is Streaming?
Streaming is basically transmitting audio and video files in a continuous flow over a wireless or wired connection, and it can cover a broad spectrum of entertainment such as music, video games, movies and television shows.
- On demand streaming like Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Hulu is where you can watch what you want whenever you want.
- Live streaming is watching or listening to live programming. This is similar to what you have on your cable or satellite service, except it’s coming to you over the Internet. This is how users watch live sporting events on streaming services.
Does Streaming work like my current TV service?
There are multiple streaming services available to choose from. This gives the user more options and freedom than pre-determined programming from a cable or TV provider.
- Each streaming service has its own unique interface and customer experience.
- Most streaming services organize their TV shows and movies by category or genre such as action, comedy, romance, and many others.
Can I watch my favorite channels on Streaming?
Streaming providers offer different programs and channel lineups, so it’s important to review the major providers to determine which one has your favorite shows and programs.
Some popular streaming services are:
- YouTube TV
- Sling TV
- Hulu with Live TV
Is Streaming cheaper than my current TV service?
Add the cost of your Buzz Broadband internet service to the cost of your chosen streaming service to determine your monthly streaming cost. A benefit of streaming is that there are no service contracts, and there are also free trials.
