With Vidgo recently updating its channel plans and shifting to a more sports-focused offering, I wanted to update our review of this affordable Live TV streaming option.
What is Vidgo
Vidgo is a Live TV streaming service that officially launched toward the end of last year. While initially focused on providing network and cable TV channels to Spanish speakers, Vidgo now offers English-speaking plans that carry popular channels like ESPN, HGTV, MTV, Hallmark Channel, and more.
How Much is Vidgo?
Vidgo offers three different channel packages Plus, Premium, and Spanish. All plans can be viewed on three devices simultaneously and support iOS, Android, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Web browsers, and Chromecast. There are no contracts with Vidgo. You pay month to month and can cancel at any time. Sign up here.
Below are the prices and a brief description of each plan. We dive into the channels available on each a little later in the article.
Vidgo Plus Lineup: This English Speaking live TV package costs $69.99 per month for over 85 channels found on cable and network TV. Plus allows you to preview the 20-hour cloud DVR for 90 days.
Vidgo Premium Lineup: This English Speaking live TV package costs $84.99 per month for over 110 channels found on cable and network TV. Premium also includes a 20-hour Cloud DVR which works with Firestick, Roku, Google TV, and Apple TV.
Spanish Lineup: This channel package typically costs $29.95 per month and offers Spanish-speaking channels like ESPN Deportes, Fox Deportes, beIN Sports en Espanol, History, Discovery, and more.
