#1 Understand the Services I don’t want you to memorize service names as if they were in the periodic table of elements, but you should be familiar with these three types of service: Solo Streamers: These are the stars right now. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video set the stage, and now these newcomers are vying for the spotlight. All have original content, and most—except for Apple TV+—have catalogs of older stuff that could be otherwise hard to find. These might be your main entertainment, but they’re more likely an add-on. You typically don’t get the sports, news and live events that a cable plan—or a cable killer—would offer.
Worse, the search engines aren’t always optimized. Sometimes services that have their own stores will offer to sell you a show you already have free access to elsewhere. If you find that your TV won’t support the latest apps, choose one of the media streamers with the most market share and most active app support : Roku or Amazon. Those will likely be the first places new services appear.
