Best streaming service for live tv?
Posted on 1/11/23 at 6:17 am

I have YouTube TV and the price isn’t bad and I love that I get the local channels. However, the interface sucks, especially coming from Dish. Is there another streaming service that offers local channels but with an easier/better interface?

DirecTV stream using their streaming box will be more what you are used to.

I had Hulu for years and it always had buffering issues. I switched to YouTube and it’s been buffer free.

Had Hulu w/ Live TV for a while, but after they jacked the price up over $65 it became kind of pointless. Also they don't have regional sports networks.
Switched to DirecTV stream in order the get regional sports. It's the only stream option that has them. It is expensive and the app sucks.
Not sure what we'll do next.

Get an HD antenna. Newer TVs come with their own version of live TV (Samsung plus, etc.) It's free and better than any streaming or paid service.

I usually get Fubo tv for lsu football season. Good success for us.

I use have YouTube TV because it “feels” the most like cable. Used to have Hulu live.

I have Youtube TV and think it's fine. Interested in what you think is wrong with it.

FuboTV just had a huge price hike. Almost $100/month for what I had been getting for $65. Went back to YouTube TV and I can say the YTTV is much faster plus offers 4K when available. All of the streaming services have interfaces which are slower and a little clunkier than cable, but that’s just the nature of the game. It’s a little slower to jump around channels and you may have to press an extra button, but that’s the trade off.

I liked their user interface bc I felt it was the closest to cable/satellite. But the app always has issues crashing and even though I was initially in the ‘intro’ price, they kept jacking it up and it was no longer worth it. I loved to YouTube. I don’t like the UI at all but it has a lot of content for the price. My kids used to need Nick Jr and it was one of the few that included it at the time

I can only speak on Hulu Live because that is all that I have ever tried. They need to do something about their live TV interface to browse channels. It is very laggy, and there is no saving "favorite" channels, so you have to browse through the entire channel lineup to go to other stations.
So my gripes with Hulu: Menu Lag, and Price.
When I started using Hulu years back. It was $40 for live TV. Now we are approaching $80. With that said, they have added tons of content, and stations. And I now get D+ with it.
I have tried to go back to just regular Hulu, BUT, you don't get all of the content. I thought it would be just losing the live TV capabilities, but it removes a shitload of access to full series of good shows, some even removed completely. For instance, if you decide to binge watch and entire series, with Live TV package you get all the seasons, but if you switch to just streaming, only a couple of the more recent seasons will be accessible. And since my wife watches a bunch of weird womanly shows, we are almost forced to keep the Live TV package to be able watch most of them.

I went with Hulu Live because it also included Disney+ and ESPN+. I already was paying for a Disney+ and was able to drop that once I got the Hulu Live package. Have heard YouTube TV is good also.
I also have HBO Max and received and email today that the price was going up next month from $14.99 to $15.99

Fubo just got Ballys for you Pelicans fans in LA. Not sure what their cheapest package option is that has Ballys though. Dtv Streams cheapest package with Ballys and AttSports is $90 per month.
Edit: forgot about Dtvs price hike this months. $100 to get Ballys
Edit 2: looks like Fubo cheapest package for Bally's is $90. $75 for base package + $15 for local regional package which will include Bally's

That's the reason I don't bitch too much about Hulu. They have at least added some premium content.
I also got somewhat lucky when AT&T started giving their customers access to HBO Max with Unlimited data cell phone packages.
