Imagine those days where you had to wait for the TV channels to play your favorite track or a movie or perhaps wait an entire week to watch the next episode of a thriller series or a soap drama! Not anymore. Thanks to popular streaming services, we can now pick what we want. Cable packages, on the other hand, still have a unique set of content and versatility, which makes it hard to let go of. Therefore, what would you choose? Maybe both and that would certainly be wise too. Here is a list of the best streaming services and popular TV cable packages to help you select the best combination.

Streaming Services

Netflix
Currently the godfather of streaming services, Netflix has certainly got the lion’s share of the market. The best part of Netflix is – besides offering all your regular shows and movies, they do come up with original productions. All of these at one subscription fee! On a Netflix account, one can create up to five different profiles so that one does not mess up with the recommendations.

HBO Go, HBO Now
HBO Go is for those who have HBO from a cable or satellite package and HBO NOW is for cord-cutters. One need not worry about the differences as the service provider’s dual streaming will pretty much offer you top-shelf content. HBO’s library is quite famous for its wide array of collections.

Disney+
In the world of Marvel, Star Wars, and Disney’s own animated world of works, how can one say no to this streaming content? Disney+ features loads of beloved content. However, there have been quite a few complaints about the fact that some videos come in the wrong aspect ratio and there are some odd gaps in the content lineup. Minus this, perhaps this could be a great bet.

Cable TV Service Providers
Cox, Spectrum, and Xfinity from Comcast are some of the longtime players in the cable TV lineup.

Xfinity
Xfinity has certainly been on the top of the charts. It offers two plans called Digital Starter and Digital Preferred with 140+ and 220+ channel counts, respectively. Customers can avail Digital Starter at $70.99 per month, while the cost for Digital Preferred is $59.99. per month. This service provider also offers a better bargain than your famous satellite service.

Spectrum
They offer three plans named Select, Silver, and Gold. These plans are priced at $44.99, $69.99, and $89.99, respectively, for 12 months. The channel count stands at 125+, 175+, and 200+. If you are very much into premium channels, paying additional for the upper-tier (the Gold option) would be the best option.

Cox
Cox is the ideal choice for those who are looking at minimal TV time – i.e., if you only need some sports channels, a starter pack would just do. Cox’s TV Starter plan costs $25 per month with a channel count of 75.
