When you have fast, reliable, home internet service, you can stream all your favorite network and cable channels through your internet connection and “cut the cord” from cable or satellite TV contracts. With monthly streaming subscriptions like Sling TV, YouTube TV, and many others, you pay for only what you want – without long-term contracts – and save hundreds of dollars each year. You’re in control of your content, and you get much more – for much less.
What does IdeaTek have to do with cable TV? High-speed internet is one of the tools you’ll need for streaming. We want to help you save money!

Three Steps to Cutting the Cord
STEP 1:
Get an IdeaTek
Internet Connection
Sign up for IdeaTek internet service. IdeaTek offers the fastest, most reliable, high-speed internet available with plans that allow you to stream the way you want to watch. No contracts, unlimited data, and no throttling. Learn more about residential plans to pick the best option for you, and check for service in your area.
STEP 2:
Get an Internet Connected TV or Streaming Device*
Televisions with smart TV technology are ready to stream immediately. For older TVs you’ll need a streaming device. You also can stream through your computer, tablet or smart phone.
Smart TVs
Own a SMART TV? You can stream right now.
You can use your TV to connect to the internet and access apps.
Streaming Devices
No SMART TV? Connect your TV to a Streaming Device.
If your primary TV is older, or you have multiple TVs to connect, you’ll need to use a streaming device.
STEP 3:
Get Streaming Services*
Most stations and channels offer streaming services. You’ll find everything from your local channels and the content you already love, to new discoveries and content you wouldn’t find on a traditional TV service. Some have a monthly subscription fee, and some are free. Even with the fees, you can still choose a mix that will be much cheaper than cable.
IdeaTek doesn’t offer streaming services, but we’ll help you figure it out. We’ve listed just a few examples to get you started. Be sure to take advantage of free trial periods and remember that you can change subscriptions every month if you want – without penalty. You’re in complete control of your content!
Live TV
What what’s on.
These services include local and network channels, live TV, and content you can watch on demand.
On Demand
Watch what you want, when you want.
These services include movie and TV libraries along with original programming and content you won’t find anywhere else.
