HBO NOW is great because for a long time you had to get a traditional HBO subscription through your cable provider to use the streaming service HBO GO. This new service is just for streaming online and doesn’t require a cable package whatsoever.

The best thing about Sony Crackle is that it’s free. Seriously. Totally, 100 percent free.

YouTube Premium, formerly YouTube Red, is the video sharing platform’s answer to cord cutters.

With the Miroir M300A, you can easily enjoy high-definition picture and stereo sound wherever you are. For home and basic business users, the M300A provides a strong set of features and solid build quality. Externally, it’s among the smaller full-size mini projectors we evaluated.

The Optoma IntelliGO-S1 has good image quality and affordable pricing, but lacks an internal battery.

Review Great for sound quality, but this system lacks guts in the bass department.
