IPTV vs Cable and Satellite: Cost and Setup
IPTV delivers television over your internet connection. Here is how it differs from a dish or a cable box in setup, contracts and cost.
Setup
Cable and satellite usually need a dish or a set-top box and sometimes an engineer visit. IPTV needs only an internet connection and an app on a device you already own: a Firestick, an Android TV box, a Smart TV or a phone. See the install guide.
Contracts
Cable and satellite often come with a fixed term. A Marvel 4K subscription is a one-off payment for the length you choose, from one month to two years. Nothing renews on its own and there is nothing to cancel.
Price
Marvel 4K plans start at $12 for one month. A 12-month plan starts at $90, about $8 a month. Compare that with your current TV bill for the channels you actually watch. See all plans and prices.
Things to check before you switch
- Whether the channels and leagues you care about are available: ask before you pay.
- Your internet speed: 10 Mbps for HD, 25 Mbps for 4K.
- The broadcasting and copyright rules where you live. You are responsible for following them.
