PBTV EVERYWHERE FAQ

What is PBTV Everywhere?

PBTV Everywhere is a service that allows PBTV subscribers to view TV programs on devices other than a TV set. This can include a PC, a laptop, tablet or smartphone.



How is PBTV Everywhere different from Hulu, Netflix, or other streaming services?

  • It’s FREE. There’s no extra charge to use it.
  • It includes live TV. Hulu and Netflix only offer previously recorded shows.
  • It has full episodes of current shows.

How much does it cost?

Nothing! At this time, there’s no cost for PBTV Everywhere, so feel free to explore. There is nothing on the site that will result in an extra cost to you (except overage charges from your cellular carrier, if applicable). As long as you can receive the TV Network in your “regular” PBTV channel lineup, you may view that network’s TV Everywhere content, if available.

Where can I watch PBTV Everywhere?

PBTV Everywhere works anywhere you can receive an Internet signal: in your house, at work, at the mall, at a hotel, the airport, a vacation home- anywhere! Wired connections and in-home WiFi will provide the best overall quality. The quality of PBTV Everywhere service while traveling (airports, stores, etc) will vary with the signal strength and bandwidth of the Internet connection you use. Be extra careful when traveling, especially outside the U.S. Data roaming charges may apply, and they can be very expensive.

What shows can I watch?

Each TV network makes their own decision about what to offer on PBTV Everywhere. For example, the live feed of Fox News is available, but the live feed of Hallmark is not. Instead, Hallmark offers full episodes of their popular programs.

Why aren’t all programs available?

A TV network doesn’t necessarily own all the rights to all the programs they transmit. A network may have the right to transmit a movie, but only to TV sets, and not on PBTV Everywhere. It all depends on the network.

Will other networks become available?

Yes! We’re working with many different programming providers to expand the number of networks, and the number of shows available on PBTV Everywhere. Registered users are presented with the complete list of all the networks available to them. When new networks are added, you will see them in your menu of available programs when you log in.
