What is your preferred streaming device to stream YouTube TV? Do you like the service so far?

We use it through our Samsung TV and love it. All the channels I like to watch, tons of sports channels, lots of on demand options.

Thanks guys. Looks like we will be ditching Xfinity and switching to YouTube TV soon.

Are any of you football fans? What’s your plan for the season re NFL Network/redzone?

I’m about to get rid of U-verse and think I am going with vue tv for this reason. I think vue has the best channels

This was my concern last year, but I pulled the trigger last July and have not regretted it one bit. YouTube TV gets you all your local channels and then some, so living in the Florida panhandle I always see the Saints on Fox and then whoever is playing on CBS. For NFL Network and Redzone I go ahead and pay the $30-$40 extra a month throughout football season for Sling TV just for those two channels. When playoffs start I cancel Sling and use YouTube TV the rest of the year.

For all other sporting events Super Bowl, World Series, College Football, National Championship, you name it YouTube TV shows it.

Is YouTube tv better than Hulu live? I know it’s a $10/mo difference

PSVue has NFL Network on their plans (except for the bottom plan) and you can add the sports package, which includes ESPN Goal Line and NFL Redzone, for $10 a month.

Here are all the channels included in the sports package:

NFL RedZone, MLB Network Strike Zone, ESPN Goal Line, ESPN Bases Loaded, ESPN Classic, beIN Sports en Español, FOX College Sports Atlantic, FOX College Sports Central, FOX College Sports Pacific, Longhorn Network, Eleven Sports, GINX eSports TV, Outside TV, sixteen regional FOX sports networks, seven regional NBC Sports networks, and three Stadium channels.

I have tried the following:

DirecTV Now (was good at first, but started acting weird for no reason)

Sling TV (Actually pretty good, but doesn't have all the local channels)

Hulu Live TV (Good and has all of the local channels, but seemed to have issues with shows starting over, app shutting down for no reason, and would buffer for no reason)

YouTube TV (is legit. I like the guide format, unlimited DVR, local channels, etc. I've had zero issues thus far)

All of these were used on a new 65" Samsung 4K UHD Smart TV using cable internet. Wifi 200 Mbps DL and around 11 or 12 Mbps UL.

Hulu, Sling, and YouTube TV were also used on Apple TV and Element Roku smart TV

Can you set your local channels to specific zip code?

Like could I get New Orleans Market while living in Dallas?

I've only had it for a short time, but it seems that you have to check in occasionally from your "home" zip code on a device with GPS. So, theoretically, you could use an app to spoof your location at start-up and for the check-ins.

I've had Sling, Playstation Vue and now YouTube TV. YouTube has been my favorite service to date.
