I’m dropping PS Vue because of the recent price increases. Recently did a trial of Hulu Live and the stream was just as good as Vue. Anyone have experience with it during high volume events? I want to find a reliable service before football season starts.

Ive only had it for a month, but have not had 1 issue with it yet. Very happy so far. Watch it on Roku, 4k Fire Tv, and Fire tablet.

When you add the extras like a DVR that lets you fast forward through commercials, it’s the same price as PSVue. I’m trialing it right now but I’ve barely used the live TV. I like PS Vue interface and channel lineup better.

Was interested but they only allow two Simultaneous streams and want an extra 15 for more. if they offered 3 i would have gone with them.

I always recommend Hulu Live when possible - go for it!

I get some stuttering during live sports on ESPN but I just switch to the ESPN app and it's fine there.

I've been using Hulu Live TV for quite a few months. I think the only other service that is as good is YouTube TV.

Hulu Live TV is good with DVR feature and their own content of course. The only thing I notice is Hulu Live TV is a good 30-60 seconds behind actual real live TV. This can be cumbersome if you're on a group text for sporting events.
YouTube TV seems the closest to real time content with maybe only a 5-15 second delay but they just don't have their own content that my wife loves - so we roll with Hulu Live TV.

Oh, forgot to mention that the other MASSIVE bonus for Hulu is their no commercial plan on most content. When watching via DVR that's huge compared to all the other services.

Why not YouTube TV with 6 simultaneous streams?

Dont get how some can have over 3 up to 6 simultaneous streams while others only allow 2. If you got a family 2 just is not gonna work.

hope it has improved since last fall. i tried it during football season and it was pretty frustrating to watch. every time i would switch to a different game it would restart at the beginning.

Because I have Fire TV devices and they don't support Youtube TV, or that would have been my choice.

I used Hulu Live to watch Bama beat UGA last January and had only a couple of hiccups where the picture got pixelated. It did buffer a few times when I first started it, but it caught up before kickoff.

Switching to this from directvnow at the end of the month. Channel lineup looks great.
