About the Publication
My Streaming Life is an independent digital resource providing news, technical analysis, and strategic guides for the modern cord-cutter.
Founded by a veteran streamer who transitioned from cable in 2011 -- long before the industry became mainstream -- this publication is built on 15 years of lived experience and technical experimentation. We prioritize integrity and clarity, offering a high-utility alternative to clickbait-driven media.
Our Editorial Pillars
The goal of this publication is to provide unbiased advice and practical solutions for real-world cord-cutters. We categorize our content into three distinct pillars to ensure readers find exactly the information they need:
- Streaming News: Timely, objective reporting on industry shifts, service updates, and pricing changes.
- Informational Guides: Expert technical analysis on home media management, including server configurations, network optimization, and performance reviews of various antennae.
- Professional Opinion: In-depth critiques and industry outlooks from a veteran perspective.
Technical Infrastructure
The insights found here are rooted in real-world application. To ensure our reporting is accurate across all major ecosystems, we maintain a testing environment that includes Google TV, Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV.
For local broadcast integration, we rely on high-gain outdoor antennae paired with networked tuner devices (such as the HDHomeRun, Tablo, AirTV Anywhere) to deliver major networks and digital subchannels. Our expertise in whole-home DVR solutions provides a technical baseline for viewing broadcast television without recurring monthly fees.
Independence and Integrity
Integrity is our primary asset. This publication is not affiliated with any streaming provider. While we provide comprehensive coverage of services such as Sling TV, Hulu+Live TV, YouTube TV, and Fubo, our editorial stance advocates for a "lean" streaming model. We rarely subscribe to these services except for specific high-value periods, such as the college football season.
Transparency and Sustainability
To maintain this resource as an independent publication, we participate in affiliate programs with select retailers, including Amazon, Best Buy, and CJ Affiliate. If you purchase through these links, we may earn a commission.
These relationships never influence our editorial judgment. We recommend only the hardware and services that meet our strict standards for value and performance. Furthermore, any automated shopping links placed by third-party ad networks (such as Google) are outside of our editorial control.
