Seamless TV service awaits with this platform – especially for sports fans

This paid piece is sponsored by Midco.

Whether your household is filled with Coyotes or Jackrabbits, movie buffs or kids, one television platform is ready to take care of your viewing needs.

MidcoTV debuted a few years ago and offers content you won’t find anywhere else.

Here are five things to know about this cutting-edge platform.

It’s easy to set up and stream

Gone are the days of clunky equipment and scheduling a technician to install it.

With MidcoTV, “we can set up the order, ship the equipment, and in about five minutes, most people can install it on their own and be up and running,” said Cory Lichty, Midco vice president of residential sales.

“It’s generally a seamless transition and fits today’s landscape. Plus, the quality is improved.”

It’s portable

Because MidcoTV can be connected via ethernet or wirelessly, you can put TVs anywhere you want without having to rewire your home.

“You gain flexibility bringing Wi-Fi into the solution,” Lichty said. “Maybe you’ve always wanted TV in your garage? This is the way to do it.”

Not near a TV? You can watch your MidcoTV lineup via web browser, tablet or smartphone within your home – or use TV Everywhere to watch specific network coverage.

It’s cohesive and intuitive

MidcoTV is powered by TiVo®, making for “a super intuitive user experience, whether you’re searching for programming or creating recordings,” Lichty said.

“Even the remote itself is powerful. They’re voice-controlled, so just say what you want it to do, and it will get to work for you.”

The platform also is highly integrated. You can watch live television or easily pull up all your streaming services with access to the Google Play store right from your Midco-powered TV.

“We’re avid Peloton users, so you can download that app, and maybe you like yoga, so you can do that from your TV all using the same box,” Lichty said. “People with kids love that Disney+ can be put right on the TV box – no switching inputs.”

It’s loaded for sports fans

No matter your sports of choice, you’re going to love what’s offered through MidcoTV.

From high school and college to national sports, there are options for every fan.

“There’s a package for everyone, whether you love football, hockey, regional sports or certain conferences,” Lichty said.

The MidcoTV Sports Pack includes:

• ESPNU
• Big Ten Network
• CBS Sports Network
• Golf Channel
• MLB Network
• NFL Network
• NBC Sports Network
• And more

“And if you’re a fan of hockey or baseball, it’s easy to include NHL Center Ice or MLB Extra Innings,” Lichty said.

If you love college sports, the Midco Sports channel is included in the MidcoTV 3 package.

That’s where you’ll find live SDSU, USD and NDSU football and other regional action, along with live coverage of some of the area’s best high school matchups.

“There’s so much original programming on Midco Sports you won’t find anywhere else,” Lichty added.

You can catch up quick on the high school season with the hourlong “Varsity Sports Live” show. You’ll have access to “Midco Sports Magazine,” an award-winning series telling the behind-the-scenes stories of area athletes.

“You’ll meet a lot of people whose story you’d have never known,” Lichty said.

It’s filled with bonus content

Not a big sports fan? Your MidcoTV is still overflowing with options.

If your MidcoTV package includes HBO, your Midco account credentials gets you access to Max, formerly HBO Max, “which is one of the largest content applications out there,” Lichty said.

“Or if you’re a Prime Video user or watch Netflix, all those apps stream to your MidcoTV box, and you have access to that content at your fingertips.”

It’s a similar story for other channels in the Midco lineup. Whether you’re a Hallmark fan or an HGTV addict, you can tap into all their offerings online as well as on your TV.

“Your Midco credentials gain you access to all that additional content,” Lichty said. “Just log in to your TV Everywhere and you can begin watching.”

Plus, depending on your package, there are up to 38,000 new and classic ON Demand titles ready and waiting for you to start watching.

Not sure what all is available to you? The platform takes care of that too.

“There’s one common search tool, so if you’re looking for a particular show or movie, it will bring up all the options you have across your services:– live TV, apps and recordings.”
