Who needs time travel when you can turn on Me TV? The channel is like TCM's lesser-known sister, but instead of airing classic films, it broadcasts beloved TV shows from decades past. The catalog is always changing, but right now, it's airing episodes of The Brady Bunch, M*A*S*H, The Twilight Zone, Star Trek, The Carol Burnett Show, and so much more. It also continues to produce new episodes of Svengoolie, the horror movie program that's been on since 1979.
If you're a fan, the good news is you no longer need cable to watch Me TV. The channel is available on a couple of live TV streaming services that don't require the cords and contracts that come with cable.
To watch ME TV live without cable, you can sign up for any of the services listed below. They differ by price point and channel lineup, so make sure you select the one that best fits your needs.
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.
DirecTV Stream Ultimate
DirecTV Stream Ultimate is the second-biggest package offered by DirecTV Stream. With it, you get up to 160 channels (up 40 channels from the previous tier) across entertainment, sports, and news. That’s almost any channel you can think of—from TBS and USA; to ESPN and CBS Sports; to CNN and BBC News; and so much more. 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.
Frndly TV
True to its name, Frndly TV is an on-demand and live TV streaming service that’s friendly both on the wallet and for viewers of all ages. At just $7/month, it offers more than 40 live channels, including The History Channel, Hallmark, and The Weather Channel, plus DVR and lookback features and multiple profile options. It’s ideal for those looking for a wholesome, family-friendly streaming experience.

At just $28/month, Philo is one of the most affordable on-demand and live TV streaming services out there. It boasts over 70 live channels, including AMC, Lifetime, and Paramount Network, 70,000 movies, and unlimited DVR. If you ever find Philo’s base package wanting, the service also allows you to stack add-ons like Starz and MGM+ to your plan.
