5 Things You Need to Know About MidcoStream
You have just found an easier way to watch fan-favorite TV channels and streaming apps. MidcoStream puts everything you need in one space.
“The intention is to provide a one-stop shop,” said Tony Wirz, Midco Associate Product Manager of Video. “Customers can get the boxes from Midco, watch TV or apps, all within their internet service provider.”
Here are the top benefits of MidcoStream.
1. Enjoy 200+ Free Ad-Supported Channels
From FETV (Family Entertainment Television) to AccuWeather and everything in between, there are over 200 channels to choose from. The channel library is constantly updating with new content, so if you can’t find what you’re looking for, it could pop up a little later. Certain channels are dedicated to one show where you can binge all your favorite reruns. You can also watch a variety of shows and movies in your preferred genres on the many PlutoTV channels. There are titles you’ll recognize and some that you’ll get to discover for the first time.
2. Everything in One, Searchable Spot
MidcoStream removes the hassle of switching multiple inputs. It combines TV watching and streaming for seamless searching.
Even better, say goodbye to typing long movie titles letter by letter! Use voice search on your remote to search across all platforms with a voice feature. You can find what you need quickly and pop from Netflix to TV and back effortlessly.
“When certain operators around the country are leaving video behind, Midco wants to keep investing in video. Regardless of how people want to consume it, Midco wants to be there to give them the best options available.” - Tony Wirz, Associate Product Manager of Video
3. First Box No Charge

MidcoStream features the Google Play Store, giving download access to 3,000+ apps. “Having the Google Play Store built into our box gives you access to just about any app that you could think of in addition to the content that we offer,” Wirz says.
A special bundle is offered with one of those many apps, HBO Max. When you get internet with Midco, you can get an ad-free subscription to HBO Max at a discount of $14 per month rather than the regular $16.99.
