Last week, Apple TV picked up a feature that gives it a big advantage over other streaming boxes—at least in theory.

TiVo, Tablo, AirTV, Fire TV Recast, Plex, and Channels DVR are easier to explain with pictures than with words.

Even in the streaming era, cable and satellite TV customers have little choice over what hardware they can use. The FCC has now reiterated that it’s no longer interested in doing anything about it.

Assuming the NFL season proceeds as planned, Locast will represent the cheapest way for cord-cutters to stream NFL games.

Squint hard enough, and the combination of Apple TV+, CBS All Access, and Showtime looks like the beginning of a new kind of TV bundle, one that’s a lot better than bloated cable packages.

One of the neatest features on Amazon’s Fire TV devices is incredibly easy to overlook.

Instead of following the Netflix strategy, TV networks are implementing a hodgepodge of price tiers, add-ons, and content windows, all in hopes of winning over cord-cutters without shattering precious old business models.

Cord-cutting offers a bounty of free and cheap content to stream, but it also has a hidden cost.

Roku got far in the streaming wars by framing itself as a neutral party, but it’s an image Roku’s been shattering lately as it butts heads with publishers like AT&T’s WarnerMedia and Comcast’s NBCUniversal.

If you have no interest in the TiVo Stream 4K’s extra features, you can easily remove them and customize the device to your liking.
