The watchTVeverywhere Platform

WatchTVEverywhere is a service that allows cable TV subscribers to view TV programs on devices other than a TV set. This includes PCs and laptops; some networks also have apps that allow you to watch via a tablet or smartphone. Each network is different.

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.

Nothing! At this time, there’s no extract cost for WatchTVEverywhere, so feel free to explore. There is nothing on the site that will result in an extra cost to you (except overage charges from your cellular carrier, if applicable). As long as you can receive the TV Network in your “regular” cable channel lineup, you may view that network’s TV Everywhere content, if available.

WTVE works anywhere you can receive an Internet signal: in your house, at work, at the mall, at a hotel, the airport, a vacation home- anywhere! 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. In most cases you cannot stream the network programs over seas, because the networks do not have the geographical rights to play those programs in other countries. Be extra careful when traveling, especially outside the U.S. Data roaming charges may apply, and they can be very expensive.

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.

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.

We’re working with many different programming providers to expand the number of networks, and the number of shows available on WatchTVEverywhere. Registered users are presented with the complete list of all the networks available to them. When new networks are added, you will see them in your menu of available programs when you log in. To see the list of networks currently available and upcoming please check the chart at the bottom of this page. To view the networks on a phone or tablet, you will need to download the network app from the Apple or Android store.  Not all networks have created apps, but most have them. Please refer to the chart.

To get started, visit www.watchtveverywhere.com, select your cable service provider from the drop-down menu, and click “submit.” Make sure you have your last invoice handy – you’ll need your 5 digit CABLE account number (not your phone number and not your overall account number), and the correct spelling of the last name on the account. Click “Register” to start the registration process.

Visit www.watchtveverywhere.com. Click “Log In,” and enter your username and password. Click on the TV Network you want to watch, and you’ll see a list of available programs.

You can watch any WatchTVEverywhere program as long as it’s on a network you subscribe to in your cable TV package. For example, you must subscribe to FOX through your cable company in order to watch FOX’s WatchTVEverywhere programs.

All WTVE programs are available on PCs and laptops. Most networks also have Apps for Smartphones and Tablets that allow you to use WTVE. You will have to download the individual App from Apple App Store or an Android app store like Google play or Amazon. Some networks may not have made all their programs available on all devices.

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. We have no way to know when you have exceeded your data plan’s limits. You are responsible for all charges billed to you by your mobile carrier.
