This streaming service lets you watch live TV for free every night — no cable account required

If you want to watch live TV on your computer, there are typically only two (pricey) options: Sign up for a live TV streaming service like Hulu + Live TV, or use a cable subscription username and password to log into network websites. There’s never really been an easy way to watch live TV without having to spend a dime — that is, until now.

Streaming service Sling TV announced its new Happy Hour program, which lets users in the U.S. watch more than 50 cable channels and 50,000 on-demand movies and shows for free every night from 5 p.m. to midnight. This means users can catch breaking news as well as some of the best shows on television right now at no cost — seriously, there’s no cable account or credit card required.
