Just saw HULU has a Black Friday special 1.99 per month. Don’t know details worth checking

I believe they raised their monthly fee from $54.99 to $64.99 not $75 al least not yet!

I use a hybrid of an OTA antenna with Sling TV. 69 channels OTA + 50 channels from Sling. Total 119 channels. Sling basic package costs $30/mo. 25 mps internet works fine for 3 TVs.

I changed from You Tube TV because of the DVR - when you set a program to record the DVR will record all episodes on at the time new and old. Hulu DVR can be set to "new Only". That was important to me. Of course you can stream on both but I like the DVR feature. I think You Tuve TV allows unlimited DVR storage and Hulu 50 hours before they delete. I delete as I see the shows so not an issue at all.

Yes, you are correct. Mine would have been $74.99 with the regular no ads Hulu service included.

Tell us more about your OTA? What part of TV do you live?

I had HULU however it would buffer quite a bit. Since Hulu is raising the prices I moved on to Comcast , It still beat Direct tv with the storms here they are not a good choice as. you lose the signal during the storms.

Hulu
 
I use Hulu. It has all the network channels. I’ve heart You Tube is great also.

PugMom 11-26-2020 08:14 AM

we use comcast for internet, & streaming we use prime & hulu. if you have a smart tv., u may find this feature already built in. i LOVE the free streaming channels, especially Pluto-tv. they have subject specific channels of ALL kinds of programming. i use this the most, for newsmax, james bond channel & i'm STILL addicted to the carol burnett channel, lol.
prime is VERY good for any type of movie-they have many foreign and/or obscure titles i don't find anywhere else. good luck! let us know which 1 you go with, & why.

We cut the cable cord several years ago. We used streaming tv in our home when we were using it as a rental and provided Hulu Live streaming for our guests. When we made a permanent move to our home back in May, we cancelled Hulu Live and then logged on with our AT&T Now streaming account. We used it while we were living in Georgia and it works well here also. We have also tried Sling TV in the past. We like AT&T Now because of the sports networks we can get. We pay $75 per month.

If it weren’t for my husband and I both enjoying the sports networks, We might cancel our account altogether. There are so many other options for watching tv and we rarely watch any network tv programs or news. We also use Amazon Prime, Roku TV, Pluto, and Disney Plus to watch shows and movies. We have found an app for local news stations and we watch Newsmax on Roku TV.

My suggestion is to compare what each company has to offer and determine which company has package/channels that best suits your wants and needs. It’s definitely becoming more competitive.

Between Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV, is one clearly better than the other?

What is the minimum internet upload stream for successful streaming?

Thanks.

The best stream service is YouTube TV. Quality, Channels, use on multiple tv’s within home, ability to share service with family member located in different states and unlimited DVR that enables programming of unlimited number of shows at the same time slot.

You Tube TV 70+ channels including local Orlando, $63/mo. Amazon Prime, Netflix $13/mo., PBS $6/mo. Everything we want and more and we never lose the TV during rains, storms or thick clouds.

First I got a moderately priced Roku. Then I got YoutubeTV. At that point I was all set, but if you're used to the ease cable TV, streaming can seem cumbersome. I missed some of my favorite Christian programs from not having DirecTV, so I added that and kept Roku and YoutubeTV. I'm very happy. Also by keeping YoutubeTV I can still watch TV even though a storm can disrupt DirecTV.

We like YouTube TV.
