    Originally dedicated to documentaries, independent films, and the like, Sundance TV has since become home to crime drams and vintage series, as well. Think NCIS, Law & Order, and Blue Bloods; mixed in with old sitcoms like The Andy Griffith Show, Sanford & Son, and unadulterated comedy films on the weekends.

    If that combination’s your jam, all you need to catch the lineup 24/7 is an internet connection and a live TV subscription.

    To watch Sundance TV without cable, you can sign up for a subscription to any of the live TV streaming options below. You can read more information about each of their different prices and offers to determine which service suits you best.

    DirecTV Stream

    DirecTV Stream is a streaming service that offers everything from live TV, local channels, on-demand films, sports packages, and even premium cable networks like HBO and Starz for an additional fee. Its plans, which start at $70/month, are on the pricier side of live TV, but that’s because it offers unlimited DVR and streams on top of at least 75 channels, depending on the plan you pick.

    Spectrum TV Stream

    Spectrum TV Stream is the internet provider's most affordable TV plan yet. At $40/month, it offers cable channels like CNN, TCM, and Disney, but notably, it does not include sports and local channels in its catalog. For that, you'd have to look at Spectrum's other plans, like Spectrum TV Choice. TV Stream is only available for Spectrum internet users, and to date, it has yet to offer a free trial. It may not sound like it has a lot going for it, but TV Stream is actually a great option for Spectrum customers looking for leaner (read: sports-less) TV packages that can conveniently be paid along with the internet.

You get it all, plus tens of thousands of on-demand titles for the price of $109.99/month (saving you roughly $40/month from the package after it), so if the budget allows, it's worth trying the Ultimate plan yourself.
