We have a ROKU stick on the living room TV, and the Xfinity flex device in the cave. Why? Because the flex device was free and hubby only wants to watch certain channels when he's in there, and we don't need a whole service for that. We have YouTubeTV for streaming service on anything that doesn't already come with the devices, and I have Amazon Prime Video as a "premium" service. I also watch TV on my computer sometimes, but usually I just watch movies and reruns and Prime video shows. Everything works fine, but the Flex with Xfinity streaming is very limited. But it comes with our internet service, which we only pay $50/month for, so it's all good. |

You need bandwidth to watch the shows but that is true for all streaming whether it is Netflix, Hulu Live or YouTube DVR.

If you do decide to stream XFinity you will likely need a Roku or Firestick. Streaming can be frustrating and speed is important if you are planning to stream, use gaming devices or if there are several people in the house. Remember when tv was free? Remember when everyone was concerned about the “Ma Bell” phone monopoly? Those days are gone…but they were the good old days. I wish you luck. |

While we are on the subject, does anyone use Hulu and can you get local news stations? Inquiring minds want to know.

YouTube TV should have the same local channels and is worth comparing to Hulu Live

you may be saving money now, but just wait, the cost of internet service will continue to rise. its cheaper right now because you are already getting internet, and its up to you to have the correct equipment, versus being supplied with equipment. So the cost to deliver service just dropped for the cable company. . . and once everyone has internet and no boxes, the price will start to rise for upgrade equipment to keep up with the ever growing demand and people joining your neighborhood circuit
