Northstar TV is an IPTV subscription built for American households that want live TV without a cable box, a satellite dish or a long contract. Your channels stream over the internet straight to the devices you already use: an Amazon Fire TV Stick, an Android or Google TV, a Samsung or LG smart TV, an Apple TV, or your phone and laptop.
Plans are prepaid for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months and cover 1, 2 or 3 screens at the same time, with larger household plans available on request. Every plan includes the full channel lineup, an on-screen TV guide, catch-up on supported channels and an on-demand library. Nothing renews automatically, so you stay in control.
