I switched to Fubo from Directv and it was fine for about 2 months. Then started having buffering issues. Switched to Youtube TV and never have a problem.


I had some buffering issues with fubo when using my roku. Then, I just downloaded the fubo app to my smart tv and the issues went away...

If you use AppleTV to watch fubo, you can watch 4 games at once using their multiview option.

I’ve had YouTube TV for over 3 years now and never plan on leaving. It’s a great service

I was curious about others having issues with the buffering. We have had Fubo for a couple of years but the buffering is getting worse as well as have to restart it to even get it to play anything. Fubo blames in on your internet provider, but no other devices have any issue with the Wifi in my house. Thinking about switching to Sling or Youtube TV.

Do the free trials of the options and decide for yourself. We use Hulu but it has a lot to do with the fact we would pay for Hulu either way because of the exclusive content. A large number of people like the YT setup better than the Hulu interface. Neither is what I consider perfect but we have no issues with using Hulu.


We chose Hulu because YouTube does not offer History channel that my family wanted, otherwise would have gone with YouTube.

I had exact opposite experience with Prime Thursday night football. TV was constantly buffering so we did research and purchased the latest ROKU stick and everything works better now even the picture quality of YoutubeTV improved.

Wtf. No SEC or ESPN on Dish Network


I dropped YTV for HULU Live, because I like A&E, and as an added bonus, Disney + and SEC Network + come with Hulu Live.

The guide on YTV is better than HULU, but I am adjusting.

YouTube TV is great in BR/NO unless you want to watch Astros or Pels coverage. I still don't understand how they haven't figured that bullshite out.

But for literally everything else, it's seamless. I got Roku's on a few TVs and it works great. Also a few smart TVs that it runs like a champion on.

Their channels are the bulk of programming we and many other families enjoy.

All ESPN with their rights to most college games.

Cancelling today and going with YouTube tv or Hulu…which is better?


I've had Hulu+Live for years (it's around half the price of Cox TV service) and have been very happy with it. You get pretty much all the ESPNs and SECs channel lineup for everyone (put your zip code in for specific channels in your area). The only downside is no Weather Channel (so we use the free Weather Nation app).

I first went with Hulu+, but at the time, they didn’t carry AMC. I switched to YTTV because the had AMC, but they don’t carry The History Channel.
Hulu+ now carries AMC, so probably switching back.

But the are both great. I don’t remember if you can edit Hulu’s guide screen like you can YTTV.
I have my YTTV set up in pretty much the same order as Cox
NBC
ABC
Fox
CBS
PBS
Disney
FX
USA
TNT
AMC
Etc….
