Streaming Service Best Features Checklist

Are you ready to give up linear tv, watching only your tv at home? Ready to find a streaming service that you will enjoy everywhere? Here’s our checklist for features to consider.

Why are streaming services so popular?

  1. You can watch thousands of shows at any time and in any place with a decent internet connection, or cell signal. Gone are the days where you need to set the DVR to record a certain program or series of programs and then later delete shows because our DVR is full.
  2. You can download these shows and watch them while traveling. You do have to manage the storage space available on your device and the number of concurrent downloads allowed.
  3. You can watch on multiple devices.
  4. One plan can be shared with multiple users who can watch simultaneously.
  5. The streaming service apps manage your watch list, your favorites, what you have watched, and where you left off. You don’t even have to recall the last episode you watched, the app keeps track of that information for you. Unfortunately, it doesn’t keep track of when you fell asleep 🙂.

Try out our checklist to consider which streaming service deals you want in your streaming service search.

Selected Value: 0
Consider who you would share your plan with. Children, spouse,s or parents to determine the number of screens.
Most of these services are available at a premium rate without Ads. If you don’t mind ads this lower rate may be an option.
Selected Value: 0
There is a price per month or you can pay annually for some of these services. Consider what you would be willing to pay for one service or you could bundle multiple services with Hulu or Amazon Prime Video. Would you retain your home tv cable service? or replace it with these streaming services?
Some of these services are not available outside the US or may have limited service due to regional locking. If you travel outside the US and plan to watch while traveling, consider a plan with “download for offline viewing”. Some services offer unlimited downloads.
Consider the type of programming you like to watch. Some people mainly watch movies while others may enjoy series. These services usually offer all seasons of a series. Just a warning, as sometimes the availability of entire seasons of a series does cause binge-watching.
If you like to watch live events or Pay Per View events, consider one of these services that offer Live TV or Pay Per View events.
