Looking to make a switch to something else. How is Hulu live or any other of these kind of services?

Also looking for recomendations on at&t internet or others for good connect speed.

You have to buy a new tv to support it?

All of the new streaming cable services are similar but each have their own holes. Some seem cheaper at first but nickel and dime you for things like full DVR services or more than 2 streams at a time. They also all vary in which of your local channels they support which is important for watching live events on ABC/CBS/NBC/Fox.

You really need to check them out for yourself to see which ones have the right mix of channels/price/features for you. They all have free trials though.

Look into

YouTubeTV
PlayStation Vue
Hululive
DirecTV Now
Sling

I’ve tried Sling, PS Vue, & now Hulu.

I like Hulu the best & currently have AT&T internet.

Love Hulu live. Just as good as cable, IMO. Plus the DVR feature is nice.

HAd all the streaming services and i've had hulu live for 2 plus months. Has the best channel selection but the only downside is 2 streaming only at same time unless you want to pay like an extra 12 bucks for unlimited streams per month. Im sticking with hulu live though.

That depends on your smart tv. Although most have the Hulu app, not all support Hulu Live. Only 1 of my TVs supports Hulu Live. I ended up getting 4k Firesticks for the others.

My only issue with Live is that NBC and the CW are only available on demand in my area.

We currently pay $60 for unlimited screens and 200 hrs of cloud storage which I'm going to probably drop since my wife doesn't need DVR anymore.

I’ve had it for over a year. This plus netflix - I don’t miss cable at all.

Live sports were a little laggy at first but I had very few issues this year. All the college football games I wanted to see where available live - it’s really like having a basic cable HD package plus all of the on demand stuff.

I have PSVue, I've researched the others and that seems to be the best value. Hulu seems good, but only watching on two devices is a con for me.

Hulu not having Viacom channels is stopping me

Okay. After my endorsement the Super Bowl has been a PITA. The sound and picture have gotten off synch a number of times...which seems to be the issue with their live sports.

I like it. I got it during the summer to try it out for CFB. I am going to keep it. I like having the local stations etc.
