Fans can also watch TLC without cable on Sling TV for $40 to $60 per month. This streaming service has been around since 2015, featuring over 48 channels and several add-ons. Sling Orange, its most affordable plan, has 31 channels, including HGTV, AMC, Lifetime, and others. But if you want to stream TLC, you must subscribe to the Sling Blue or Sling Orange & Blue plan. Each plan comes with additional channels, such as the Paramount Network and TeenNick, which are available for an extra fee.

Sling TV works slightly differently from other streaming services. First of all, its subscription plans are highly customizable thanks to the various add-on bundles. If, say, you sign up for Sling Blue and want access to a larger selection of Hollywood movies, you can pay $6 for Hollywood Extra. This would give you access to SundanceTV, Heroes & Icons, REELZ, and other channels. There's also the option to rent movies and record 50 to 200 hours of content.

Subscribers can stream Sling TV on computers, smart TVs, phones, or tablets. The platform also works with video game consoles and streaming players like Apple TV, Google Chromecast, and Roku. Sling Orange allows you to watch your favorite shows on one device at a time, whereas Sling Blue supports up to three devices simultaneously. If you register for Sling Orange & Blue, you can stream on up to four devices at once. Like Philo and Hulu, this service is only available in the U.S.
