You won’t lose your stations if you cut the cable. It means you stop paying for things you don’t need and keep the things you do need.
Right now, this is what works in Argentina.
There’s no fee for TV. You pay for 200 stations but only get 8.
And those eight—Liga Profesional, TyC Sports, TN, and Telefe—can be used without a contract.
There are ways to watch TNT Sports and ESPN without having a full cable plan. You can do this through Flow, Telecentro Play, and DirecTV GO. Every month. Cancel at any time.
For a basic fee, ESPN and Fox Sports let you watch live Copa Libertadores and Sudamericana games on their apps. Not a reader. No visit from the tech.
Free matches: TV Pública shows some national team games for free. You don’t need a subscription; all you need is an internet link.
Telefe, El Trece, América TV, and El Nueve all have free apps that let you watch their shows over the air.
They already cost you money through the internet. It’s just that you no longer need cable to get to them.
TN, C5N, A24, and Crónica all have websites and apps that let you watch live TV for free. No sign-in. No sign-up needed.
Unlimited access to HBO shows and movies
From Disney+ or Star+ bundle to Star, Sony, or Warner
Netflix has its own app that can be used on any device.
All of them are fully dubbed or subbed in Spanish. All of them are month-to-month.
| What you need | Cost of legal choice |
|---|---|
| Football (Liga, Copa) | on DirectTV GO or Flow for $8 to $15 a month |
| Free apps that let you watch stations on the web | Free |
| Tools for news in TN and C5N | Free |
| Netflix, Max, and Disney+ movies and TV shows | From about $5 a month |
If your internet link is stable (20 Mbps or more for HD), this will work well. You can watch it on a smart TV, phone, computer, or laptop; you don’t need any special hardware.
It’s not a way around it. That’s just how TV works these days.
Taking out a bill. Taking care of your channels.
You can legally watch football, Argentine TV, news, and movies whenever you want, without having to sign up for a cable plan.
Setting it up is easier than you think if you’ve been putting it off.
