I hated the guide from PSVue.

DirecTV Now was good.

DTV Now

I remember not liking Hulu's but can't remember exactly why.

PSVue's was ok and don't remember disliking it.

DirecTV Now's seemed like the most traditional looking guide.

I never tried Youtube TV because it didn't offer locals in my area (or wasn't offered at all).

Sling worked like garbage for me the moment I brought it up.

Try them all on 7 day free trials and figure out which one works for you. Keep in mind though that it probably shouldn't be your biggest factor in deciding. No matter what, you will probably get use to whichever service you decide on with a little bit of time.

Agree with DirecTV Now.

Odd thing is that when I use Roku, DTVN loops but not when I use Apple TV.

PSVue's menu scrolls side to side which seems so odd at first, but once you get used to it you realize that it utilizes the space better and makes more sense.

YT-TV clusters all alike channels together, which is cool but you also realize that there's nothing to watch on TV that much quicker.

For us PSVUE's menu is far superior.

It's been a while since I've been on DTVN. Both Sling and YouTube TV come to a dead stop at the bottom on every device. I do like the YT interface though, and have had much fewer issues with buffering.

I tried You Tube TV and their guide turned me off. It isn't very functional compared to DTN. I canceled them before the 5 day free trial was up. I'm disappointed enough with streaming tv now that I'm probably going back to cable.
