Start with your existing bill
Separate television charges from broadband, phone and equipment charges. Cancelling television might change a bundle discount, so ask the current supplier for the remaining broadband price before calculating savings.
Keep installation, rental and cancellation costs separate from recurring charges. A headline monthly price can conceal a different total over the period you plan to keep the service.
Calculate a like-for-like annual budget
Use this worksheet: television charges + required internet costs + equipment or player costs + disclosed fees. Apply it to both options using the same period and the same number of viewers.
ViewTVY lists a one-connection annual plan at $100 upfront and a one-month plan at $15. These figures alone cannot establish savings against your cable bill; your internet, required content and other costs still matter. Check current checkout totals before buying.
Compare how your household watches
- Which exact live channels must remain available?
- Do you need recording, catch-up, subtitles or accessible controls? Verify each feature.
- How many people watch different programmes at the same time?
- What happens when the internet connection is unavailable?
- Can everyone comfortably use the remote and player?
Avoid cancelling before you have tested
Try the proposed setup on your usual television, not only on a phone. Check the programmes you normally watch and let other household members try the controls. Confirm the new service meets those needs before ending an existing contract.
Read cancellation and renewal terms from each supplier. Neither this comparison nor a successful short test changes the terms of an existing contract.
