Cable TV for free
Before I get into all the sources available online I wanted to give a quick overview of how to free yourself from cable TV. The following steps are a very brief synopsis of the guide: The Ultimate Cable TV Alternatives.
Step 1: Get yourself a TV antenna for free broadcast TV. I personally use the Mohu Sky 60. This will provide free access to ABC, NBC, FOX, CBS, PBS, The CW, and more.
Step 2: Get yourself a streaming device. I use the Roku 4. For a fundamental overview of Roku, what the device does, and a comparison of the different versions check, out my article: What is Roku?
Step 3: Choose the streaming services you would like to use. This page covers websites on the internet to stream free, subscription, local and cable channels over the internet. If you want up to the day info on the current season of TV Shows and their streaming availability, check out my tool to find where to Watch TV Shows Online. This page doesn’t contain sports channels. Those can be located on How to Watch Sports Without Cable.
I will continually update this page. If you want any channels added to the page, just let me know in the comments.
