Most MoaTV viewers used to have cable or satellite. Here's the comparison they ask for, without the sales pitch.
Side by side
| MoaTV | Typical cable | |
|---|---|---|
| Contract | None | Often 1–2 years |
| Equipment | Your own TV or stick | Rented box for each TV |
| Live channels | 21,000+ | A few hundred |
| Sports | Included | Surcharges and add-ons |
| On your phone | Anywhere | Mostly inside the home |
| Needs internet | Yes | No |
| Works during an internet outage | No | Yes, if the cable line is fine |
Doing the maths for your home
Add up your current bill for twelve months, including box rentals and every fee. Then compare it with a 12-month MoaTV plan for the number of screens you actually use, plus a Fire TV Stick for any TV that can't run the app. For most households the difference is large.
Why people switch
- The bill: one up-front payment instead of a monthly figure that keeps rising.
- Sport: all the major leagues in one guide, not stacked packages.
- Freedom: no contract, nothing renews on its own.
- Every screen: phone, tablet and laptop, not just the TV with the box.
- TV from home: international channels without paying for another package.
The catch
- No internet, no TV.
- You do the setup yourself. It takes about ten minutes, and we're on WhatsApp if you get stuck.
- Lineups move more often than cable's.
- If your internet is discounted only because it's bundled with cable, check the standalone price before cancelling.
Switching calmly
Run both for a week. Start MoaTV on the 3-month plan, make sure your must-have channels and your internet hold up, then cancel cable and return the box. Ask for a return receipt.
