My current cable/internet/phone company was "unable to negotiate" a new deal with Corus Entertainment which means they are dropping 33 channels/networks from their program list. Many of these channels are ones I watch regularly, and I really don't want to lose them.
One of the options I have is to change my current bundle and then separately subscribe to Amazon Prime, which gives me access to Prime Video...which THEN gives me the option to add another subscription to STACKTV, a live and on-demand streaming service specifically offering Corus Entertainment networks. Here's the thing...not all content is available for on-demand (they don't say which shows specifically)...which isn't a big deal, but I'm curious how "live streaming" works. I'm still "old school" and I like watching my shows on the night they air. So is that how "live stream" works? Would I sign into my account and watch my show at the same time that it's on regular cable? I know I sound dumb...but I just never used a service like this before...
My other option is to just change providers completely to another that does offer the programming I want, but before I make a decision I'm weighing all my options and trying to figure out what will be cheapest in the end...
Why does getting decent TV, internet and phone have to be so flipping complicated nowadays!!!! So many different bundles and add-ons and streaming platforms...
