We're not aware of a legal way to watch free cable or satellite TV. But you can get 100+ channels for absolutely nothing from both Pluto and Xumo. However, it should be advised that these networks contain some of the same programmings, but not the same channels.

You will also not get your local channels, but a moderately priced at around $36 inexpensive over-the-air (OTA) antenna will pick up any free channel for 50 miles.

Customers of Xfinity should try out Xfinity Flex, the combination of a streaming device and service by the provider. Flex integrates NBC's Peacock service, Pluto, Xumo, Tubi, and your paid services such as Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, and HBO® with Xfinity's on-demand library with over 10,000 titles. And it's free for internet-only Xfinity customers.

 

 

 

How can I cut my cable bill? 

 

Try the following to decrease your cable bill:

• Xfinity internet-only customers: try out Xfinity Flex, the content-rich combination streaming device and service offered by the company.

• Go for a cheaper set

• -If you can live with ads, fully drop cable, and use only free, ad-supported services such as Pluto, Xumo, Tubi, and more.

• Call the customer retention department of your provider to see if you can negotiate a discount, particularly if you have been a great customer.

 

Cheap or complimentary TV service is true. In order to make budget cuts, you do not have to give up TV completely.

Think bundling or going for a smaller channel schedule if you prefer conventional cable or satellite TV. Try OTA TV if you only need basic local channels. And give live streaming TV a shot if you're looking for more versatility than cable television can deliver.
