Is there any difference between YouTube tv and Hulu Live? Is one better than the other?

Youtube TV is better

Hulu TV gives you access to Hulu content

Yeah I was told YouTube was better overall and with sports but Hulu Live had better college football and like you said has Hulu included.

IIRC the last increase built in leeway to add new channels without increasing the price every time. Hopefully that’s the same here.



Are there any major/universally-wanted channels to be added?

I don't think that many people care about the ones they're using to justify the $15 hike.

People want less live TV, not more.

Yeah the a LA cart model would put an end to 80% of the channels we are forced to take with cable, streaming services, etc...

That would be great IMO. Way better than good channels subsidizing garbage. Want to get paid? Put out good content.

The only things I ever watch live these days are sports.

I've actually found myself recording some shows on Youtube TV but watching them on regular Hulu VOD the next day because it's easier to watch without advertisements.

I guess to me the optimal streaming platform would be all VOD, similar to Netflix/HBO/Hulu, with an add-on for live sports.

With cable, you’re not going to get these channels plus DVR for $65.

On the main page, there is a link to a feedback form. I let them have it about their politics and money grab while throwing a few channels that no middle aged, straight, white would ever be interested and still can't find a way to add A&E that happens to highlight crime and law enforcement shows that I love and really the only shows I watch that aren't news or sports.

Thanks but no thanks. Subscription cancelled before the increase is paid even once.

I’m close. With Directv bundled with my cell phone I have over 200 channels, including hbo and dvr for $69 a month.

Living on 20 acres on the sticks has advantages, but fast internet ain't one of them. AT&T tops out at 25 mbps out here compared to 100 mbps in the city of Rome 10 miles away.


25 mbps is plenty to stream on 2 devices simultaneously.

A ton of people in this thread are overpaying for these high internet speeds.

I don’t really know what people are doing to pay such high cable/sat prices. To me the streaming services are pricing themselves out if people would just call cable/directv and negotiate your bill down

Play hard ball with them. There’s so many options now you have all the power

My directv choice package plus HBO that gets me HBO Max access also is $68 a month

The initial payment with cable is usually okay for the first 6-12 months, then they jack up prices and you can get a discount, but its not as low as the initial promotional prices. I dont have the energy to keep changing them out. Did that rom about 2012-2018. Now im done with cable unless their prices come alot further down and you can lock in prices for a longer period of time. frick not knowing how much the bill will be each month. Way easier to buy/cancel streaming services

I used both Hulu and YT. Hulu didn’t have AMC. YouTube didn’t have A&E. Those were most noticeable to me.


Hulu live was great for college football. I don't think there were any games I couldn't get.

How is YouTubeTV for college football?

I’m debating dropping it now. $15 extra dollars for adding some freaking shitty channels I won’t even watch.
