You’ve probably heard about live streaming and Video-on-Demand Streaming (VOD) in today's modern high-tech world. But what exactly are these types of service, and how do they benefit you?
Traditional cable relies on a large physical box that hooks up to your TV and wall. You can only get the subscribed cable channels through the TV with that specific direct cable box input. This means that if you add a TV to your kids’ room and don’t have an additional cable box, you’re destined to have your kids watch rerun DVDs while you find “Let It Go” stuck on auto-repeat in your head.
HomeStream TV for Video-on-Demand Streaming
Now, enter modern technology with HomeStream TV. Here are the top benefits of subscribing to this service.
1. Video-on-Demand Streaming on Multiple Devices
Imagine you want to add a TV that has internet connection capabilities to your child’s room. With HomeStream TV, you can simply login in with your user name and password, set any child-specific limitations and features, and quickly access all the channels you get with cable - forgoing the cost and hassle of an additional cable input box. Now your children can catch the latest episodes of their favorite cartoons and educational programs.
2. Ditch the Box with Video-on-Demand Streaming
Today’s decor styles often have TVs mounted on the walls, and unsightly cable wires and boxes can ruin your home’s aesthetic. Ditch the box and wires and use HomeStream TV. You won’t miss out on any of the traditional cable channels, but you’ll be able to easily stream and view channels in any room in your home, provided you have an internet connection and compatible device, such as a SmartTV, laptop, computer, tablet or phone.
3. Multiple Devices for Streaming
Even if you don’t have extra TVs in your home, if you have guests visiting, you can easily set them up with a tablet or laptop computer to catch the latest episode of “Dancing with the Stars” or their favorite sporting event.
4. Forgo Complicated Input Systems
If you have several devices hooked up to your TVs, such as speakers, BluRay and a cable box, it’s often a pain to have to flip through different HDMI inputs. Usually, your cable box is HDMI 1, and Netflix or Google Play is on HDMI 2. Systems like this are often complicated, especially for children to operate. With HomeStream TV, you can find the app alongside your other favorite apps, making it easier to manage your TV. HomeStream TV allows you to consolidate search capabilities and not flip around to different inputs, saving you time and frustration.
