  • 1.  Streaming live tv broadcast on public TV's without cable boxes

    Posted 07-23-2021 15:09
    Hello colleagues! 
    I am hoping to find out if there are options for streaming live content like the Olympics when you have a TV without a cable box. You can't log in through personal account's. Also my colleague's current business cable provider does not permit business accounts to access streaming content. Any thoughts would be helpful!

    I am asking on behalf of another colleague who is working to get access into the forum. 

    Thanks,

    Hi Dwayne - if the location of the TV would work with an HD digital antenna then that would work to watch the Olympics through the local NBC affiliate broadcast. Assuming you can download apps on the TVs, Peacock TV (NBC's streaming platform) is supposed to be free and will be showing live coverage. For a paid option, we use Sling TV which would get you access for $35/month/TV. None of these should impact the business streaming account restriction you mentioned.
