I've been using YouTubeTV for a year instead of cable TV or satellite TV. I love it because:
- Has all the local channels
- Has all the other channels typically found on cable TV
- Unlimited recording capability that's easy to use
- Can put on all the TVs in the house for nothing extra
- Can use from other locations on the one account (great for snowbirds)
- Can let family members in save viewing area use same account
- $65 / month with no contract
- Installation is very easy -- modern TVs probably include the app. Older TVs need a Amazon firestick or Roku which is a one time purchase for less than $40. It's just an app, so there's no other hardware or cables.
- Extra channel options for a price similar to what cable TV offers

Note that you still need internet capability from any provider you choose.

You search for the title and "+" it to add to your library. Then, future episodes will appear in your library.

Youtube tv vs hulu comparison

YouTube TV vs. Hulu Live: Which Streaming Service Is Better? - Clark Howard

Yet you're able to post on the innertubes... :1rotfl:

Yeah, I did get a bit geeky back there...

My "Smart TV" up north was REALLY slow, so it improved with a firestick.

The new TV I purchased last Spring must have an insanely faster processor, since the TV itself works faster than if I hook up a 4K firestick...

Didn't realize that when I bought it...

But, I'll just save it for when I bring down another TV for one of the BRs or the Lanai...

With YoutubeTV you get all the local broadcast networks like ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS. You get pretty much everything you had with any cable provider.

I’ve been streaming for about 5 years now, here in Florida and at my Rochester NY area home.

You also have built in Recording/DVR capability.

you see what you want to record, select it and press add to library feature.
Stores everything in the cloud for 9 months or so.
No cable box, or dvr fees per room.

get ready to change. Nfl contract up after this season.
Believe new one will go out to the streaming services especially youtube tv which is owned by google.
Deep pockets usually win.

Amen to using suppose.tv. For instance, I like VICE channel but can not get it on Youtube.

Use free trials for Youtube and HULU at a minimum.

They are very different. The best one depends on your viewing habits.

HULU with all the options is the most expensive but it has features that no other streaming service offers.

In most cases shows are able to be replayed after 24 hours of first run. Most programs have the ability to be started at the beginning if you join it late. And it is best for selections of on demand shows.

Downside of HULU, is that the fast forward is very slow and the navigation takes a while to master.

If you go to YouTube there are endless reviews on cost and which services that will fit your needs.

What is best about cutting the cord is you get to create your own package.
Your monthly bill will be higher or lower on the size of the options you want.

Fire stick $25/mo....has over 7000 channels!

I'd like to know more about how this works. I can see a firestick for a non-smart TV, but exactly how does firestick access 7,000 channels for free? I'd love a basic explanation on this as I'm considering options

We switched to YouTube TV from Hulu Live - I’m a TV junkie - YouTube is less expensive here by a few dollars because of the fees Hulu tacks on, and the DVR recording is much better. To get maximum recording capacity with Hulu, there is an upcharge (at least there used to be). Canceled Xfinity when the promotional period ended. Saved about $100/month.

I stream with smart Tv and have slingTV, sling is 40 a month plus comcast internet 60.00
4 TVs plus computer works fine

So you're stealing from You Tube.
