Switching from cable TV to streaming TV over the internet may seem confusing but its actually quite easy. To switch you need 3 primary things:

Streaming TV requires a reliable symmetric (same upload and download speed) internet connection so that it can move your video signals back and forth and eliminate buffering. Even if you get a lower bandwidth option of 100Mb/100Mb with fiber vs cable you will have the reliability to support 2 to 3 TV/devices streaming TV.

2. Smart TV or Streaming Device - If you currently have a Smart TV, it has a built-in APP for streaming and you can skip to the next step. If not, you would need to purchase a Streaming Device and plug it into your TV. Roku, Amazon Stick, Chromecast are all common devices for streaming.

3. Live TV Streaming App Subscription - Once you have your internet connection and TV connected, you are all set to open and create an account with a Live TV Streaming app. Most Smart TV’s have the apps already installed, but YouTubeTV, Hulu, RokuLive are common ones with a range of costs, some being $0 Free. These Live Streaming TV apps provide your local live stations and a customized package of content channels you are familiar with. If you find yourself wanting more stations/channels you can add them directly to your TV. Again these range from free channels to those with a small monthly subscription fee. This process can seem overwhelming. Fortunately, however MyBundleTV has simplied and automated this entire process step for you.
