The service is available nationwide in the United States and works on smartphones, tablets, computers and TVs.

Channels across different interests

You’ll find major broadcast channels such as CBS, FOX and NBC, alongside sports, news, lifestyle and kids’ programming. Examples include NFL Network, CNN, HGTV, Food Network, Nickelodeon and PBS Kids. Local sports and news channels are also part of the offering where available.

Recording and household accounts

Cloud DVR lets members record programmes without managing a fixed storage limit. Recordings are kept for nine months. A household can have up to six accounts, each with its own login, recommendations and DVR library, so family members can keep their viewing separate.
