PS Vue. If I can find LA Tech games on TV with it, you can find whatever you want.


And how much is that? You have to have a ps for every tv?

Hulu, Netflix, & Prime Video pretty much cover all the bases for us.

Youtube TV hands down...it's actually better than plain ol Directv

ETA: I've had all the streaming services (Hulu Live, Directv Now, PS Vue, Sling) and YouTube TV is the best by a large margin

How does streaming services like YouTube TV affect your internet data package? Curious, because I have Cox internet and last summer with both kids home and streaming Netflix during the day I almost went over my data cap a couple of times

If they want the stuff they can come get it. I will make it easy for them...I'll disassemble it all, put in a box, and set on my front steps...they can just drive up and pick up the box. I hope it doesn't rain before you get here.

I have 3 TVs streaming YTTV along with phones, iPads and Xboxes and I stay under the data cap with Cox

Sidenote, with Hulu Live you can only stream on 2 devices at once and get a low number of DVR hours...either 30 or 50

It appears that YouTube TV has ABC in the NOLA market. Can anyone confirm? I know the local abc affiliate has been playing hardball with most of the streaming services

Depends on what plan you have. We have unlimited screens at home and 3 mobile and 200hrs of DVR.

I prefer the current Hulu Live to YTTV. But each person has to get into the nuts and bolts to decide what is best for them.

I am thinking of leaving Directtv. I do not watch much live TV. Can Hulu or Youtube be recorded to watch later or is it available later through streaming?

Get a couple Apple TV rigs and YouTube TV.

You can add a ton of other services if you want them and Disney+ is coming soon.

I’m saving over $225 per month over my previous Cox bill.

YouTube TV has unlimited DVR and you can set up multiple user profiles so each one can record what they’re in to.

YouTube TV has Showtime and Starz and I subscribe to HBO Now.

Apple TV makes it all seamless on the interface. It learns your preferences and puts them all on the main page.

I’m sure they’ve got it in the contract, but if they drop ESPN, does anyone know if you have any recourse to get money back or back out of your contract. Sports channels are really the only reasons I have tv services.

PS Vue w/ Apple TV. The ability to watch 4 sporting events at a time during football season is simply too good to pass up. I don’t think enough guys know about this feature on PSVue via Apple TV.
