Generally, when you see promotions on streaming services like Netflix or Hulu, they don’t include extra packages or add-ons, like Hulu’s Live TV service. That’s OK though. From documentaries and blockbuster movies, to binge-worthy TV shows and some really awesome anime, Hulu has it all.

You can also access Hulu and watch for up to a whole month, for free, right now. Better yet, that free trial includes access to the Live TV service where you can watch cable-like content through your streaming devices. There’s no reason not to give it a try. It’s free! You can choose between both the ad-free premium plan or the ad-supported plan.

A Hulu subscription provides access to hundreds of thousands of movies and TV shows across a plethora of genres, but with a Live TV subscription, you can also access live content, just like you would with cable. It comes with over 75 live channels from major providers such as ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, Adult Swim, MTV, FX, BET, TLC, TruTV, and much more. You get live news, live TV shows, daytime TV, and even live sports — although there are some blackouts depending upon regional availability.

Basically, it’s an excellent all-in-one package that includes access to tons of streaming content and Live TV all within one app or service. And since Hulu is available on mobile, streaming devices, smart TVs, and even on the web — via a computer or laptop — you can pretty much watch anywhere, anytime.

Right now, Hulu is giving away a whole month of service free, with Live TV access, and all you need to do is sign up. You can choose the popular ad-supported plan — which is cheaper — or the premium no-ads plan, but either way, you don’t have to pay a dime until your month is up. You will have to submit a credit card, but you can cancel at any time within that first month and you will not be charged. If you decide to keep your plan, it will automatically renew.

What is Peacock? The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide

Peacock TV

Peacock is a relatively new streaming service, having launched in July 2020. It's owned by NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast. While it may not be as well known as some other streaming services right now, it's a worthy alternative to consider. If you want to know more about it, keep reading while we answer mostly everything you could ever want to know about NBC's streaming service.

What is Peacock?
Peacock launched on July 15, 2020. Named after the NBC logo, the service primarily offers shows and movies from NBCUniversal studios as well as some third-party content providers. With a combination of TV shows, films, news, and sports programming, the network has reached 24.5 million monthly active accounts with 9 million paid subscribers on top of that. It's an idea that has been in the works since 2019 with the streaming service gradually growing in popularity and offering more app support than previously.

Is There a Paramount Plus Free Trial in 2022?

Paramount Plus has steadily been growing since its relaunch in 2021. Previously known as CBS All Access, the service offers plenty of content from Paramount-owned properties. That includes some old favorites like Frasier and it also features a drama based on the filming of The Godfather, The Offer, and much more original content too, like the forthcoming Halo TV series. If you're looking to try it out for free, read on while we take you through what you need to know.
Does Paramount Plus Have a Free Trial in 2022?
Currently, Paramount Plus offers a seven-day free trial available from two different sources. Users can choose to sign up for the trial via the Paramount Plus website, or they can choose to do so by adding it to their Amazon Prime plan. In the past, Paramount has offered longer free trials with some promo codes offering up to 30 days for free. Alternatively, Paramount Plus recently celebrated its first birthday by offering a month's trial for just $1 which -- while it isn't free -- works out as considerable value. It's worth checking around to see if any longer free trials are available through various other sources. Besides promo codes, some companies offer a Paramount Plus subscription alongside their existing service. For instance, T-Mobile and Sprint customers get a year's worth of the Paramount Plus ad-supported Essential plan included with their postpaid wireless and home internet plan. It's worth checking to see if you are eligible.

If you sign up for the Paramount Plus free trial, you are able to choose to either sign up for the Essential plan which is ad-supported and does not support 4K streaming, or you can sign up to the Premium plan which is commercial-free and allows you to download shows to watch offline (while your subscription is active) and watch 4K content. It makes sense to sign up for the Premium plan if you're simply trying things out for seven days.

Can You Get a Free Disney Plus Account in 2022?

Disney Plus is one of the absolute best streaming services and well worth the money. So, if you're wondering if you can get a free Disney Plus account, read on while we tell you what you need to know.
Can You Get a Free Disney Plus Account?
Okay, so there isn't a free Disney Plus account option. While some services may offer a free ad-supported plan with limited features, Disney Plus offers just the one plan -- $8 per month or $80 per year for all the Disney Plus you can watch. It's tremendous value but if you don't want or can't afford to pay then you're going to miss out on a free Disney Plus account. There isn't even a Disney Plus free trial anymore as Disney stopped those in 2021 after a hugely successful launch period.

However, there are some alternatives if you really don't want to pay, or at least pay extra for Disney Plus. At times, some other companies you may interact with offer free ways to watch Disney Plus. For instance, in November 2021, Amazon was offering a free six-month subscription to Disney Plus if you signed up to its Music Unlimited service. While that meant Disney Plus wasn't entirely free, you could enjoy Disney Plus on top of an Amazon Music Unlimited subscription. Ideal if you're looking to expand your streaming horizons for less. That offer has now ended but there are other options out there if you look around.
