    IPTV at $11.88 vs Prime Video — same shows plus 24,000 live channels you cannot get on Prime.

    Amazon Prime Video is great — until you realize it has zero live channels, no real sports, and constant add-on upsells. StreamTV gives you 24,000+ live channels plus a bigger VOD library for the same $11.88/month — flat.
