Have tried HULU, and U TUBE TV. Both worked but finding U TUBE TV is better.
One big benefit for U TUBE TV is that I can "Re-locate" the local channels, from
TV to WI for our seasonal changes, and back again, at no extra cost.
Just seems that U TUBE TV is much easier to navigate the channels.
I guess it is personal preference.
Thank you for that information. We are about to cut the cable cord at or northern home and finally get internet installed at our Villages home. We will have xfinity internet at both homes (only wired option that’s not DSL at both locations). We are looking for the best streaming service that will work seamlessly at both locations. My research has pointed me toward Roku sticks for all TV’s so we have one familiar interface and you tube streaming (best channel lineup and cloud based DVR service).

I would be extremely interested in feedback from others who have two homes and use a single streaming service for both residences. Any advantages/pitfalls of one service at two locations would be greatly appreciated. The frequently asked questions section of the various services websites are very ambiguous on that particular topic, and good luck actually talking to someone to get better information.
