I work shift work, so a lot of stuff I watch, I record on DVR. Does Hulu have some kind of DVR, or is pretty much every show now airs On-Demand now, after the show airs?

I'm trying to decide between YTTV and HULU. HULU has the history channel which is one we watch regularly.

You get 50G of storage by default, but can upgrade to 200G.

I have Hulu, it has a huge library. If you live in a major market you have a live option. There are mandatory commercials that you can't fast forward past even in the "no ads" option. But it is very good.

We have been using YoutubeTV since moving to our new house. We also have Netflix, Amazon Prime and HBO Max because we have ATT internet. It is well worth it for us. We get the main channels we need and stream everything else. I like YTTV because it is month to month and we can cancel at any time.

ATT internet


I'm moving to where I will have ATT Fiber. Is there some deals for having ATT internet with some streaming services?

I currently have prime and hulu basic with Disney plus.

Hulu Live is good, but we switched to YouTube TV and got Hulu/Disney+/EsPN+ package as well. I like YouTube TV better. Just look at each ones live channel options so you make sure you are getting the shows you want.

We did the trial of Hulu and YouTube Tv a month ago and chose YouTube TV. After two weeks, I wish I would have done this a year ago. YouTube TV allows more streams (more TVs at once) than Hulu and better DVR. Hulu looks like they nickel and dime you with add-ons for bigger DVR and more streams.

Maybe others with Hulu can chime in, but I am a fan of YouTube Tv

If you get the at&t fiber 1000 plan, which is the unlimited data plan, you get HBO Max for free

I've got Netflix, Prime, HBO Max, Disney+, CBS All Access, DC Universe, the free services (Pluto and Tubi) and Hulu, and I use Hulu the least.

My wife got it to watch a specific series. Occasionally we'll watch a new series there. I hate the user interface. I don't mind the occasional commercial but Hulu is the worst when it comes to commercial breaks.

Watching Justified on Hulu now and the commercial breaks are always right in the middle on the action or a conversation. It's extremely annoying.

It's like watching Crackle. But then Crackle is free.

Yes, that is what I'm going to get. Do I have to have one of the streaming services to add the HBO Max?

My main problem with all the streaming services we've used that have commercial breaks is that it is the same few commercials, over and over and over.

This is the only advantage it has over YTTV. As the are the only streaming service that has a deal with them. If you cant live without it go with HULU, if you can YTTV is definitely the way to go
