Because “Blade Runner 2099” doesn’t air on a live channel and only Spectrum carries it as a cable add-on, you don’t have many options other than the Prime Video app.
DIRECTV, our Best of the Best for Sports, and Xfinity both support the Prime Video app on their own devices, so you can keep your live TV and Prime Video in one place, though you still need a Prime membership.
Verizon Fios earns our overall Best of the Best award, Spectrum TV Lite is our Editor’s Choice, and YouTube TV is our pick for live TV streaming, but again, only Spectrum features Prime Video app integration and free Prime Video with select Spectrum TV plans.
