Cheaper Live TV Alternatives
| Service | Price | Channels |
|---|---|---|
| Philo | $25/month | 60+ entertainment channels, no sports |
| DirecTV Stream (Entertainment) | $59.99/month | ~75 channels |
| Sling TV (Orange or Blue) | $40/month | 30โ45 channels |
| Fubo (Pro) | $74.99/month | Sports-heavy |
| Hulu + Live TV | $76.99/month | Disney Bundle included |
| Antenna (OTA) | One-time $30โ$50 | ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, PBS free |
The antenna option is the most overlooked. A one-time $30โ$50 indoor antenna provides free, permanent access to ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, PBS, and local channels in HD, covering most major live sports, news, and network TV. Combined with one streaming service, it replaces YouTube TV at a fraction of the cost.
