The best live TV streaming service: PlayStation Vue, Hulu, Sling TV, and more

For those fed up with their cable or satellite TV company, there has never been a better time to cut the cord. Streaming video services are giving traditional cable and satellite TV stiff competition by delivering live sports and prime-time TV programming online, often for a drop in price, while premium channels like HBO and Showtime are available as separate streaming services or add-on bundles.Livestreaming TV has other advantages, too: There are no hidden fees, and if you ever decide to cancel, it’s easy and painless a refreshing change from the hassle of dealing with cable and satellite call centers. Some services even offer special features like cloud-based DVR storage.
