Current Tech Board consensus on streaming TV services
Posted on 2/27/23 at 2:01 pm
Posted on 2/27/23 at 2:01 pm
I am considering moving off my current TV provider and onto a streaming service. I already have an antenna hooked up and use it from time to time now. I want to be sure I can watch sports, LSU & the Saints primarily.
Just wondering what people's experiences are and if there is a favorite service or combo (I know Fubo offers a lot of sporting events, but just not very familiar with the specifics) to make sure I get my sports fix.
Any help/feedback is appreciated.

We use sling (orange+blue) and the local DVR with an antenna. I have no complaints.
The only downside I've found with sling is some channels (orange) are limited to a single stream at a time. So I can't watch a game on ESPN if my kids are watching Bluey on Disney.

That is what the ESPN app is for.

I've done the big 4 Fubo, Hulu Live, Sling (various packages) and YouTube TV and I prefer YT. I don't recall ever missing any LSU baseball games I wanted to watch, but Sling & Fubo did require me to pay for an extra package to get ESPN News.
If you don't watch LSU Baseball, this will only be an issue for the LSU games when ESPN can't figure out how to switch from making you watch the kneel downs and time outs of the blowout game that is dragging out before seeing the start of the LSU game

ESPN app works for that situation too.

We use frndlytv after ditching directv. Also have Netflix, Prime, and Disney+ that we share costs with our daughters. Have an antenna for local channels. Catch LSU games on YouTube and also have a firestick. Total cost is $22/month.

YTTV
Wifey (no pics) says it has all the channels she wants. And honestly, that’s all that really matters.
I get all local channels for NFL and misc events. ESPN+/Hulu+, Netflix, Prime covers the rest.

YTTV remains the favorite most places I've seen.
We have DirecTV, which is fine. When/if we ever get an option for the regional sports networks (Braves) with YTTV, I'll go back just because I want as few ties with ATT as possible.

I believe you can get a bally's streaming subscription directly. You may not need directV to get those games. You can both a bally's subscription and YTTV.

We use Hulu Live TV. I liked that it included Disney+ and ESPN+ in the subscription. We already had a Disney+ sub, so I was able to drop that once we got Hulu Live TV.
Same here. That sub carries the SEC Network plus all of the ESPNs and the NFL Network. I can't think of a single Saints nor LSU game I've missed since switching (we've always had the sports package).

You can't for the Braves (or most MLB teams for that matter). You can get all the NBA and NHL teams with the Bally's app but I think only 4 MLB markets allow it currently. I would've done the same thing but I had to switch to Xfinity Stream here in Memphis because I love watching Braves and Grizzlies games and we lost them on YTTV.
