Sling Freestream, discovery+ Have Countless Options for Home Renovation Streaming

Now that it is officially summer, we can put all our spring cleaning responsibilities behind us and start focusing on the much-needed upkeep around the house. If you — like me — have no idea where to begin when it comes to do-it-yourself projects, fortunately, there are plenty of streaming options available for you to pick up some tips, inspiration, and expert insight into all of your home renovations.

Like with any genre as beloved as home reno, there are myriad different options in the wide world of streaming for you to scratch your particular itch. However, we are going to focus on two specific options — one in the paid, subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) corner of the industry and one in the free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) and AVOD (ad-supported VOD) arenas.


Sling Freestream Has Hundreds of Hours of Home Reno Shows

If you are already going to be spending a pretty penny on your home reno and want to save money by streaming your inspiration for free, Sling Freestream has a wealth of options. Not only does the free streaming hub have multiple channels that air DIY and home improvement shows around the clock, but all of them also have hours of on-demand programming as well. The streamer has channels from such recognizable brands in the home space as Architectural Digest, Family Handyman, and Tastemade.

Sling Freestream is a free service that is available to anyone regardless of whether or not they are a subscriber to Sling TV’s live TV streaming service. Viewers can tune in to over 400 channels delivering around-the-clock content as well as more than 41,000 on-demand movies and TV series without having to create an account with Sling or provide a credit card.

While the service is available as a standalone service, for the company’s live TV subscribers, Freestream channels are integrated into the overall channel lineup, meaning that you can watch them alongside HGTV, Magnolia Network, and more.
