1. Why aren't all programs available?

A TV network doesn't necessarily own all the rights to all the programs they transmit. A network may have the right to transmit a movie, but only to TV sets, and not on WatchTVEverywhere. It all depends on the network.

2. What shows can I watch?

Each TV network makes their own decision about what to offer on WatchTVEverywhere. For example, the live feed of CNN is available, but the live feed of TBS is not. Instead, TBS offers full episodes of their popular programs.

3. How is WTVE different from Hulu, Netflix, or other streaming services?

• It's free. There's no extra charge to use it.
• It includes live TV. Hulu and Netflix only offer previously recorded shows.
• It has full episodes of current shows. For instance, episodes of The Closer and Leverage on TNT are available within days of their premier.

There's no limit to the number of devices you can use, however TV networks may limit the number you can use at the same time. Remember, it's important to keep your username and password confidential. Use of your credentials by others will result in the loss of your WTVE privileges.

It might. Check your data plan before you use WatchTVEveryhwere on a smart phone or wireless network. WTVE programs transmit a lot of data. This can be expensive if you have a limited data plan.

Wired connections and in-home WiFi will provide the best overall quality. The quality of WatchTVEverywhere service while traveling (airports, stores, etc) will vary with the signal strength and bandwidth of the Internet connection you use. Be extra careful when traveling, especially outside the U.S. Data roaming charges may apply, and they can be very expensive.

Nothing! At this time, there's no extra cost for WatchTVEverywhere, so feel free to explore.
