What is ZipWave TV?

ZipWave TV is a service which offers live streaming TV at a great price to residential customers. We focus on family-friendly entertainment, national and international news, and uplifting faith programming.

Can I subscribe anywhere in the world?

ZipWave TV is currently only available within the 50 United States and Washington D.C.

What channels do you offer?

We are proud to offer a selection of national and international news networks, great family-friendly entertainment channels and uplifting and inspirational faith broadcasters. You can see our full lineup here!

Do you offer local networks?

Did you know that local channel rebroadcasting fees can add tens of dollars each month to your cable or satellite bill, even though the vast majority of Americans can receive the same channels in HD quality over the air (OTA) with a simple antenna? In order to make ZipWave TV as affordable as possible, we encourage our viewers to watch their local channels for free — just as they were intended to be viewed. If you live in an area without OTA service, your local networks often have apps where you can watch newscasts for free.

How many devices can I use?

You can watch ZipWave TV on up to three devices simultaneously, and across five devices in total.

Can I become a ZipWave TV affiliate?

Absolutely! Please reach out for more information — you can email affiliates@zipwavetv.com to register your interest.

Do I need to purchase or rent any equipment to watch ZipWave TV?

No! Cable and satellite providers add fees for renting or purchasing receivers, but ZipWave TV uses devices that you likely already have at home. We are available on Roku, Apple iOS, Google, Samsung TV and Amazon Fire TV devices. We will be available on LGand Apple TVOS very soon!

Absolutely! We always want to hear from our customers. If you represent a broadcaster and would like to be carried on ZipWave TV, please reach out to discuss more. You can speak to us by clicking the button “Contact us” at the bottom of this page.

Is ZipWave TV legal?

Of course! We have agreements with all content providers to air their networks. Be aware that many scammers online will claim to offer thousands of channels for an impossibly low price. These services are illegal.

How can ZipWave TV be cheaper than other providers?

There are two main reasons that mean ZipWave TV can offer a cheaper service than other providers. The first reason is that we do not offer local networks which, despite being available for free over the air to the vast majority of Americans, are the reason why cable and satellite bills are so expensive. The second reason is that, by focusing on the networks that Americans want, and not duplicating content with the major streaming services, we can offer a much lower price.
