Make a list of the channels and shows that you watch regularly. While you can replace some with a streaming service, those current seasons might not be available for a couple of months after the initial airing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With live TV streaming, you can pick a package of channels and watch them live. You will be able to access these streaming services through popular devices, such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vmedia.ca\/en\/tv\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Roku, Apple TV, Android, or Amazon Fire.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> VMedia gives you all those options.

When you get rid of cable, can you still record? <\/span><b>Live TV streaming provides cloud DVR services <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">for its customers. You can record a particular sporting event or show and then watch at your convenience. Some providers do have limitations on the space or will erase data after a specific time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many of these<\/span><b> providers will offer on-demand programming<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. With that, you might not need a DVR. You can search for your favourite show and watch the current episode.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Your_Current_Streaming_Device\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use Your Current Streaming Device<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you cut the cord, you will not need that cable box.
