An alternative to cable, live TV streaming offers competitive pricing and channel lineups with access to sports network TV shows. And if you’re someone who prefers the freedom of contract-free live streaming apps, you may find the services appealing. These platforms not only offer a wider range of channels compared to an antenna, but also provide the convenience of watching on desktops and mobile devices.
Right now, there are six main streaming services to choose from: YouTube TV, Hulu Plus Live TV, Sling TV, DirecTV Stream, Fubo and Philo. However, what really counts is the variety of channels they offer, right? That’s why we’ve carefully reviewed these services and put together a list of the ones that give you the most bang for your buck.

The main difference between the services is their channel selection. All of them offer different lineups of channels for various prices.Â
Below you’ll find a chart that shows the top 100 channels across all six services, but note that not each service has a worthy 100. There are actually seven listed because Sling TV has two different “base” tiers, Orange and Blue. And if you’re wondering, I chose which “top” channels made the cut. Sorry, AXS TV, Discovery Life, GSN and Universal HD.Â
Plenty of live TV streaming choices are available to anyone who wants to cut the cable cord. Sling TV’s basic packages are $40 in most cities. But costs continue to go up. Fubo’s price is set to increase in February 2024, and DirecTV Stream is now $80 per month for its base plan. YouTube TV costs $73 per month, while Hulu’s live TV service now costs $77 a month with ads and $90 without ads, making it the most expensive option for a basic plan. Those changes are reflected in the chart below where applicable.Â
