How to Stream FYI Live Without Cable

Updated on August 9, 2025 • Staff

Originally The Biography Channel, the newly rebranded FYI channel mostly airs lifestyle and reality shows, in particular, home makeovers, cooking programs, and, true to its origins, the occasional documentary.

You can watch FYI on Philo, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV + Lifestyle Extra Bundle, or Frndly TV.

The cheapest option to watch FYI is Frndly TV for $8.99/month.

FYI on Philo

While not the cheapest streamer on the list, Philo still offers a pretty good deal. Their single streaming bundle provides access to over 70 channels at less than half the price. That's because they exclude most sports and local TV. However, lifestyle enthusiasts can enjoy watching FYI along with other lifestyle channels on Philo. That includes channels like Lifetime, A&E, and HGTV.

FYI on Hulu with Live TV

If you already have Hulu, it's more convenient to swap to their Live TV plan than it is to find a new one. Doing so means paying for both live TV and on-demand content through just one plan, and it usually comes cheaper than subscribing to a separate live TV service altogether. If you choose to, you can watch FYI and 100+ more channels along with the familiar interface and all the on-demand content you already enjoy.

FYI on Sling TV + Lifestyle Extra Bundle

Sling has two base plans, and FYI is not available on either of their line-ups. However, FYI fans don't need to despair. You can still watch FYI on Sling by selecting the Lifestyle Extra add-on. For an additional $6, you can enjoy 10 more lifestyle channels, including FYI, Hallmark, and the Cooking Channel, along with whichever base plan you choose. Customizing your Sling plan is an easy way to add more channels without drastically increasing the cost.

FYI on Frndly TV

The cheapest way to stream FYI is through Frndly TV. The Denver-based streamer is able to keep its rates low by excluding most sports and local news channels and thus avoiding their respective programming fees. But for lifestyle enthusiasts and true crime fans? You can enjoy FYI along with 50+ family-friendly channels with Philo's budget-friendly plan.

Remember the Biography channel? You can still enjoy classic shows like Duck Dynasty, Storage Wars, and Counting Cars through their new rebrand FYI, but they also added more home design and food shows to their programming. Lately, the channel has lost carriage in many streaming services. We created this list for fans of the channel to find the remaining streamers that still host it.
