Fubo is considered the ultimate live TV streaming service for anyone seeking to cut the cord. With a subscription, you get access to over 100 channels (depending on your local area), 30 hours of DVR space and tons of on-demand content, mainly featuring episodes of shows that have aired in recent weeks.

Sling TV costs either $40 or $60 per month, depending on which package you choose. A subscription can be canceled at any time.
