We tried Sling as a rider on our sons account and although it mostly did the job Forwarding, Reversing & Clouding are limited and it was uncomfortable to use. Not user friendly for us.

Peacock for us is a disappointment except the remote is a thousand times better than ROKU'S. The content is limited. The first Peacock box from Comcast is free. If you like it then the other ones you order would be at $5 each per month. I'm trying to not rent anymore equipment.

We're looking into Pluto, or Sling (orange and blue combined?). We have Youtube TV on the roku and I can access it on my computer, but I also have Peacock TV on my computer and haven't actually tried using it yet.

I'm -very- wary of putting faith into Comcast for anything more than basic internet service.

OBB: Agree, my original post, on which you comment, was not well put on my behalf. The reason why the increase is doable for us is that we were close to $300 per month when we were on cable which is why I really had to get into streaming. I am certainly not happy paying more for YTTV especially when I don't want the additional channels. But, until something better comes along I am stuck with it.

I have looked at HULU which has the Weather Channel and I would really like that built in, but my other half had a difficult time understanding streaming and YTTV and he really does not want to strt all over with a new site.

We currently have YTTV, Prime (which I think is fantastic and will only get better because Jeff B is going to own the world before he is done), and we buy Acorn. For Freebees I watch YouTube which I think is excellent, if you cannot find it on YT it does not exist! Occasionally I watch AlJazeera for world news, I like to know what is going on in the world, not just in our little corner of it.

Because someone had asked, HBO is Not part of Hulu nor YouTube. It's an add-on.
