You can watch Comedy-central without cable and with a free trial on Fubo, Philo, YouTube TV, Spectrum TV, and Xfinity Choice, or you can get a subscription to Sling Orange + Blue, DirecTV Stream, Vidgo, Sling Orange, and Sling Blue.
Below, we count down the best ways to watch Comedy Central that cord-cutters use. We made this ranking based on each service's value: how many other channels each dollar of subscription will get you.
If you like recording your shows, DirecTV Stream does not give you unlimited DVR like Youtube TV, but it gives you the next best thing: 500 hours of storage. Also, if you live with a big family, AT&T (the parent company) allows up to 20 streams at the same time. If you get the box, having a custom remote allows for an easier and faster navigation.
Vidgo is for you if you want to get Sports channels for example but want to save a few dollars every month in comparison with Youtube TV and other alternatives.
With over 100 live TV channels, including ESPN and BeIN, Fubo TV is first and foremost for sports fans. But as it expands, it's including channels and movies that appeal to a wider audience.
If you enjoy using the DVR option, Youtube TV is arguably the best option in the market for you: it gives you unlimited DVR storage on the Cloud (accessible from any of your devices), and it saves each of your recordings for 9 months. Also, you can share Youtube TV with up to six accounts, so if you have a big family, this is a much better option than getting a bunch of cheaper Live TV subscriptions. Youtube TV allows up to three accounts of the six to watch at the same time.
You need to already be subscribed to Charter Spectrum internet services in order to access Spectrum TV Choice and other services under Spectrum TV umbrella. That includes broadcasts and on-demand content from over 60 major channels networks including Viacom, Discovery, A&E, AMC and Hallmark.
On the other hand, you won’t be able to custom add any extra channels, and you can’t access other major TV broadcasters like ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX and NBC, nor the many ESPN and Fox Sports channels––the absence of which helps keep the cost of the service down.
If you already have other streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime, Philo is the perfect option to get access to Live TV without spending too much money. At $20, it has an offer that beats much more expensive services. Plus, in terms of the channel lineup, it has a little bit for everyone, from news channels like BBC World News to the Discovery Channel, to Nickelodeon and Vice.
