Do you offer TV streaming services to your guests?

[Stephanie]

Hey there,

After a long day exploring the local area, sometimes it’s nice to come back, put your feet up and watch a good film on the TV. Some hosts provide a great selection of films and shows; nowadays there are quite a few different streaming services to offer your guests.

Do you offer any TV streaming services to your guests and, if so, how do you manage this?

There are Stranger Things than streaming services and it's not just for Mad Men... Better the Daredevil you know, eh?

Thanks,

Stephanie

I have been offering free prime and one other, either netflix or hulu. However somehow one guest was able to purchase videos without my pin # and i thought fraud was happening and i shut my account down and this created a very upset guest, as their TV was deactivated. I did what any human being would do if multiple Amazon charges where posting and me not having any idea from whom! So there is technology drama by letting guests use your account, and all it takes is one 4 star and your superhost is gone now. So I'm thinking of re-thinking my generous free services.

We do have house accounts for Amazon Prime, Netflix, HULU, and SLING (for ESPN, ESPN is the most common deal breaker when it comes to TV services and booking. SLING offers more than ESPN), because these are things we use at home.  Do your own research on streaming sites through https://streamingsites.com/ , play with a few platforms and decide what works better for your guests

What guests?????!

In the Atlanta metro area, there are more than 80 over-the-air TV channels.  Depending upon locations, most channels can be picked up with either an aerial antenna outside or regular rabbit ears/flat disc antenna for inside.  Also, most networks allow cable subscribers the ability to watch on different types of devices (e.g. xFinity On Demand).  For our place, we offer a Roku stick, and the guests can use their own accounts to log on to the different streaming services.  Or, watch TV the old school way.........whenever we resume hosting.

I use it - very convenient!

I offer 3 streaming TV services (as well as antenna TV) to my guests - Netflix, HBOGo, and Amazon Prime. I see that by far (more than half of) my guests use Netflix, and maybe 10% uses Amazon Video, and 0 used HBOGo. This is surprising to me - since HBOGo is actually the most expensive streaming option. Also I offer hight speed internet by Comcast (recently speed dropped and I had to contact their customer service https://comcast.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html)
