Cable TV has tons of stuff to watch at any given time.  But now days we are always on the go and not always sitting in front of the TV when our favorite show is on.  So, whether it’s a past season of Seinfeld or the upcoming season of Mariners baseball WatchTVEverywhere.com is the solution for you.

What is WatchTVEverywhere?  To put it simply, it’s the easy to use authentication gateway for video content from 87 different networks.  One username and password give you access to content from networks like AMC, Disney Channel, Freeform, FX, Olympic Channel, Root Sports, and so many more!

For the most part, each network has its website or app for you to watch their content.  The only exception is when one media group owns multiple networks and deploys their TV Everywhere solution through one site or app.  On a computer or laptop these websites will require you to choose your cable provider in order to access the full episodes or live feed content.  Then you’ll be required to enter your WatchTVEverywhere username and password.  Some sites may require additional information to register and access content. 

How do you get a WatchTVEverywhere username you ask?  More on that in a moment.

Most content is also available on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.  The beauty here is that now you can watch your shows truly on the go- anytime anywhere.  One quick warning- when you’re not on wifi and watching on your phone or cellular-enabled device you will be using your data plan (video content is the biggest user of data).  You also may have to load an app (some providers let you stream from a mobile browser) for each network.  Some media groups like Fox use one app, FXNow, for all their content from FX, FXX, Fox Movies, etc.  But isn’t that a sacrifice worth making to watch the latest episode of the Shonda Rhymes soapy series Scandal, from the comfort of your tub?

Your smart TV is another place that you can take advantage of this content.  You’ll need to install apps for each network (or media group) to access the content.  Some providers include ads in their content while others do not.  You’ll just have to tune in to find out.

How much extra does all this amazing content and convenient access cost me?  We’re glad you asked.  There’s no extra charge.  The service is included with your monthly residential cable TV service from HCC!  To clarify you will have to subscribe to either Basic or Preferred Cable TV service.  Unfortunately, broadband only and HCC IPTV customers do not qualify for access as they are not cable TV services.

So how do cable TV subscribers get their very own WatchTVEverywhere username and password?  Again, we’re glad you asked.  To get started you’ll need to find a recent copy of your Hood Canal Communications bill that includes cable TV service.  Then go online to watchtveverywhere.com/register.  There you will enter your HCC account number and the last name that prints on your bill in order to register for a WatchTVEverywhere username and password.  Its that simple.
