3 Reasons It's Worth Subscribing To A TV Service

With so many people cutting the cord to cable and satellite TV these days, it may make you wonder if you should be doing the same thing. However, there are many reasons that it is still worth subscribing to a TV service. Here's what you should know.

No Buffering

One thing that you are probably well aware of with any streaming service out there is buffering. Even if you subscribe to a service that offers live TV, you'll notice that it is not as responsible as a cable or satellite service when it comes to loading content. That is because any time you access a channel or on-demand title, it needs to load enough of the show upfront so that you can start it. Then the rest will continue downloading in the background. This can make it frustrating to channel surf whenever a TV channel needs to load. You may need to skip around in a recording to find what you are looking for. 

No Data Usage

A common problem that people run into is their Internet connection at home has a data cap. This means that if they exceed the amount of data that they use they will be charged for going over. If this happens, they potentially run the risk of losing access to their Internet service if they continuously exceed the data caps. This can be problematic if you do not want to pay overages or need a reliable Internet connection at home.

A TV service is not going to use up your Internet data, no matter how much TV you watch. You will no longer be worried about how many people are streaming video and who is watching 4K quality shows.

Live Event Watching

A good reason to subscribe to a TV service is if you love live events. Award shows, local news, and sports are not going to be available on many streaming services that just offer on-demand content. If you frequently watch this type of programming, you are certainly going to find it difficult to cut the cord and give it up. Don't think that you watch that many live events? Consider totaling up all the ones you watch during the year, and you will be surprised at how much of your TV viewing is live.
