We're probably going to streaming television. Would appreciate recent experience from folks who are doing this already.

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.

I think YouTube TV is the way to go. But, there is a website, "suppose.tv" where you can enter all the channels you want to watch, and it will show you which streaming services or combination of services will provide those channels and the cost for the services. I highly recommend checking out that website.

They both seem to be in a race to the top. Hulu just raised it’s price to $75 a month.

We had Hulu and it kept going down, same experience a relative had with them. That was 2 years ago. Sling was a little better. Went to Dish and mostly satisfied.

I like youtube because it's the only one with all the major channels (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, ESPN for me)
We have CenturyLink and it's 40 megabites speed and on rare occasion there's a buffering. Quite happy with both.

Hulu+ Live has all those channels.

We're happy with Comcast for internet and Sling for TV.

When I was investigating streaming services I found that YouTube was the only one that had our local PBS station. If you watch any PBS be careful to make sure the service you sign up for includes it.

Tried them all and liked Fubo best.

We've had Hulu a lot of years and went to Hulu + Live TV 3 years ago or so up North. Our TV house has had it for almost 2 years now.

We tried Youtube TV but found Hulu hit more of our stuff. Both work fine.

As far as bandwidth, you need at least 15mbit down as we ran on that for years up north. Our TV house had the 25mbit xfinity starter package for a year and it was fine. Century link only offers 2mbit down in our Village. Upload doesn't need to be much so as long as you have 15mbit, you'll be fine for one to two HD streams as those require up to 8mbits but they will scale quality down if your bandwidth pipe is full. Hulu's top 4k stream requires about 16mbit, so even a basic 25mbit download package will be fine.

Thanks for that suppose.tv link. Very helpful.

We use YouTubeTV and are very happy with it. Gives us all local broadcast channels plus PBS and many more. It takes a little getting used to the format but once you've figured it out it's easy. We like the unlimited DVR capability and the ability to watch other channels that are normally an additional cost. We have 25 mbs download and that's enough for streaming TV and movies. If you're a gamer you'll need more download speed. Companies try to sell you massive amounts of download speed but you don't need more than 25 mbs.

Fire TV $25/month

We went over to streaming with YouTube TV about 5 months ago and wouldn’t go back. I cut my monthly bill down by $150 and I can still DVR all the shows I had before and all the stations I watched.

You can split the bill with 3-4 people With You Tube Tv . Perfectly legal .. it's been out for years so you need to get on the bandwagon! Our slowest internet speed is plenty sufficient for Streaming. Get rid of cable , it's expensive
