Streaming has taken over our screens, and I’ve spent years exploring platforms, especially the free ones. Recently, I stumbled across AirTV, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer for cord-cutters like me. Unlike other services I’ve tried, this one mixes free local channels with a paid streaming twist, all through a nifty little device.
Curious? Here’s what I discovered after diving in.
First off, you’ll need the AirTV player and an antenna to get started. I went with an indoor antenna, but if you’ve got a bigger space, an outdoor one might work better.
Hooking it up to my TV was a breeze. Just plug it in and you will start getting crystal-clear free HD local channels, thanks to the AirTV partnership with SlingTV. You can also add an AirTV layer to stream Netflix content alongside the free stuff. You may also like to check out complete list of Samsung TV Plus channels.
AirTV Devices and Pricing
AirTV offers three gadgets:
The AirTV Mini is a sleek stick that slides into your HDMI port. You can get it free by prepaying $79.99 for two months of Sling TV, a steal, honestly.
The AirTV2, priced at $149, you can grab for free with a three-month Sling plan. Right now, Sling’s slashing it to $49 with a bonus HD antenna, perfect for pulling in local signals.
My favorite is AirTV Anywhere. It uses Wi-Fi to beam local and paid channels to my phone or TV anywhere. You can get it free with a $99 three-month Sling deal.
AirTV Local Channels List
You can get free access to channels like NBC, CBS, ABC, and FOX, assuming your antenna can catch them and they are broadcasted in your area. Sling’s Orange and Blue plans toss in a heap of extra entertainment to binge on. Here is a list of all the channels you can enjoy:
