Vidgo is a relatively new player in the world of live TV streaming services. Since launching their first English-language live streaming plans around the end of 2019, they’ve signed deals with Disney, Discovery, Viacom and Fox to offer many of their basic channels as part of their service.
If you’ve reached your limit with Vidgo, we have a few suggestions for alternative streaming services to help fill that void.
Fubo is best overall for sports fans

Hulu + Live TV is best for on-demand features

Sling TV is best for a tighter budget
If you’re looking for a “skinny bundle” with a smaller price tag than Vidgo, Sling TV is a great alternative. It also offers a free portion of its service where anybody can watch Live TV.
Sling TV Pricing and Packages
Sling TV offers two singular plans, Sling Orange and Sling Blue, that offer different channel packages. They also offer a third bundled plan where you can get both Orange and Blue together, getting all of the channels that Sling has to offer.
Sling Orange
$20 off your first month
- 30+ channels
- ESPN
- Stream on one device
$45.99/month
Sling Blue
$20 off your first month
- 40+ channels
- Local channels in select cities
- News and entertainment
- Stream on three screens
$45.99/month
Sling Orange & Blue
$20 off your first month
- General cable replacement
- 45+ channels
- Stream on three screens
$60.99/month
Sling also offers a free service called Free Stream. It allows you to watch 400+ live tv channels completely free. You don’t even need to make an account. These aren’t your typical channels, though. They’re custom ones, some based on genre like the comedy channel, and some centered around specific shows like the Hell’s Kitchen channel. It’s a great option if you’re not married to specific cable or network channels and just want to watch things live.
Sling TV Channels
Your plan will determine which channels (and sports networks), you’ll get. Sling Orange offers ESPN as the primary network but doesn’t carry FOX Sports, while Sling Blue provides FOX Sports, but not ESPN. For the best experience, we’d recommend getting the combined Sling Orange + Blue pack to get all of the channels that Sling has.
Some of Sling TV’s most popular channels are ESPN, Fox, Lifetime, NBC, AMC, Bravo, CNN, Disney, HGTV, National Geographic and the Discovery Channel.
Sling also offers a variety of add-on packages, giving you a few extra channels. Their add-ons include categories like Sports, Kids, Entertainment, and Lifestyle, and stand-alone premium channels like Showtime or Starz. Find more information about Sling TV’s channel lineup.
