Our take

Traditional pay TV wins on simplicity and local channels where you already have it. IPTV wins on price, flexibility and the range of channels, provided your internet connection is solid. Many households keep an antenna for locals and use IPTV for everything else.

What it takes to switch

Cable and satellite usually mean an installer visit, a contract and a rented box for each TV. IPTV needs an app on a device you probably own already, plus a prepaid plan; IPTV Strong 8K runs from $24.99 for a month to $125 for a year. An antenna costs once and nothing after.

IPTV Strong 8K carries 32,000+ live channels and 120,000+ movies on prepaid plans from $24.99 a month or $125 a year, with no contract and 7 days to ask for a refund.
