Best VPN Providers of 2019

by Makayla Beitler | | Best Of | 0

A VPN (virtual private network) is critical for scrambling your IP address and encrypting your data, so you and your internet activity are safe. NordVPN offers the best service overall with its advanced servers and security at such an affordable price. But there’s a dark horse in this race. Surfshark, as the cheapest option with unlimited devices, is particularly great for families. So really, it’s all about what service is going to offer the features that are most important to you, at the best price.

Hulu Live TV vs. PlayStation Vue

by Jamie Mortensen | Aug 19, 2019 | Versus Reviews | 0

There isn’t any single “wow” factor that made Hulu + Live TV our favorite. But a combination of original shows and movies, local channel access, and higher customer satisfaction made Hulu + Live TV our first choice. That said, PlayStation is great for HBO® binge-watchers and sports fans. The cloud DVR is also great for folks who binge-watch their favorite weekday shows every weekend.

Sling TV vs. DIRECTV NOW

by Jamie Mortensen | | Versus Reviews | 0

We prefer Sling TV’s lower starting prices, frequent deals, and usability over DIRECTV NOW. But its channel lineups are confusing even though they’re much cheaper than DIRECTV. That said, DIRECTV NOW did prove to be better than Sling TV in a couple of categories like local channels, included premium channels, and original shows and movies.

Google Chromecast Review 2019

by Bill Frost | Aug 5, 2019 | Equipment Guides, Reviews | 0

Google Chromecast is a plug-and-play streaming device in the most literal sense: simply insert it into your TV’s HDMI port, and you’re ready to go. Well, there’s also a second plug for power—but setting up a Chromecast is still ridiculously easy, not to mention cheap.

Best Cable Internet Providers of 2019

by Bill Frost | | Best Of | 0

Coaxial cable-delivered internet may be two decades old, but it’s still one of the fastest and most readily available ways to get connected to the web. If you’ve outgrown DSL (which is likely) and fiber hasn’t yet reached your neighborhood (even more likely), cable is your best ‘net bet.

Hulu + Live TV vs. DIRECTV NOW

by Rachel Oaks | Aug 1, 2019 | Versus Reviews | 0

Hulu + Live TV speaks to all the strengths of streaming: a full on-demand library, the most popular shows for cheap, and plenty of space to record your favorite live shows. Meanwhile, DIRECTV NOW has made backward changes that draw too much on its satellite TV origins—complete with bloated packages and pricey add-ons.
