What is US IPTV? It is live American TV delivered over your home internet to an app on your TV or streaming stick, instead of through a cable box or satellite dish. TrendyScreen bundles US networks, local stations, sports and on-demand films into one plan with no contract.
Why Americans cut the cord with IPTV
Cable bills in the US routinely pass $100 a month with sports and a second box, and the live TV streaming services that replaced cable have raised their prices year after year. Meanwhile sports are spread over half a dozen apps. IPTV pulls the essentials back into one place:
- One subscription for networks, cable channels, sports and films.
- No contract and no equipment fees — use the Fire TV, Google TV, Apple TV or Smart TV you have.
- International channels included for bilingual households.
