You can get CBS through Paramount+, NBC through Peacock, and Disney puts lots of ABC content in Disney+ and Hulu. But particularly if you’re an NFL fan, the absence of FOX has been a pain point.

Can-Am's first electric ATV can haul more than its gas models

Can-Am, part of the motorsports group BRP that recently introduced electric snowmobiles, has just launched its first electric all-terrain vehicle (ATV). The Outlander Electric is designed to be "whisper quiet" for chores like herding or hunting, but it can actually tow more than its gas-powered counterparts thanks to the high level of torque. Powered by BRP's modular Rotax E-Power drivetrain (also used in the company's electric snowmobiles and motorbikes), the Outlander Electric makes up to 47

The 16 Best Apple TV Plus Shows You're Probably Not Watching

Since its inception, Apple TV Plus has felt like an undiscovered gem. That's not to say that the streamer doesn't have hits. Obviously, there are titles like Severance, Ted Lasso and Seth Rogen's new Emmy-nominated comedy The Studio that all deserve your attention. But outside of those three shows, it still feels like most people are uninformed about the epic content library on Apple's streaming platform.

These are the 9 best Google TV apps I just couldn’t live without

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority I can think of a handful of Android apps that I couldn’t use a smartphone without because the default Android experience on every device leaves much to be desired. The same goes for Google TV devices. Yes, the interface is clean and swift, but the entertainment experience can be vastly improved by installing just a few third-party apps. Of course, this includes the streaming services you will likely use, but I want to go beyond those. These apps make my Goog

Mini-LED vs. OLED: What's the Best?

Televisions have never looked better or been more affordable than they are now. From quantum dots to massive screen sizes, you can get huge TVs that look better than the best TVs from a few years ago for a fraction of the price. That doesn't mean it's any easier to find the best option, however. A confusing jumble of acronyms and abbreviations can make it hard to figure out what to buy. From OLED to mini-LED, QLED to ULED, it all starts to seem like they might just be the same just with a differ

Android TV version roulette: Sony and Google lost control of updates

That’s arguably still true when we’re looking at certain Android devices, but the situation has gotten a whole lot better, and if you’re rocking a mainstream handset like a Pixel or a Galaxy, you’ve largely got nothing to worry about when

How to turn off ACR on your TV - and why you shouldn't wait to do it

Adam Breeden/ZDNET Did you know that whenever you turn on your smart TV, you invite an unseen guest to watch it with you? These days, most popular TV models utilize automatic content recognition (ACR), a form of ad surveillance technology that gathers information about everything you watch and transmits it to a centralized database. Manufacturers then use your data to identify your viewing preferences, enabling them to deliver highly targeted ads. Also: Your TV's USB port is seriously underut

LG B5 OLED Review: Subtle Luxury

The LG B5 is a lovely TV that you probably shouldn’t buy—at least not yet. As usual, the B-series is among the cheapest ways to get an LG OLED and its perfect black levels, rich contrast, and naturalistic colors that enhance everything you watch. Also as usual, it’s the step-up C-series that generally offers the best overall value for your OLED dollars. That includes last year’s C4 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) on sale, and even the upgraded C5 if you time it right. In fact, as I write this review,

The redundant iTunes Movies and TV Shows apps can now be hidden from the Apple TV Home Screen

The iTunes Movies and TV Shows app predate the unified Apple TV app, and go all the way back to the first version of tvOS in 2015. Fast forward to today, and these apps are almost entirely redundant and serve as mere placeholders. As system apps on Apple TV are not deletable, these husks of times past have somewhat comically stuck around on the Apple TV home screen. With the latest beta of tvOS 26, users will finally have a way to bury these apps for good. Up to now, the only workaround to kee
