didn't read article, so don't know what the timeline is on it....
from everything I've heard/read, YoutubeTV is the way to go for several reasons that may be more important to me than they are to you

going up. YouTube TV is, to use the words of our FABULOUS SC STATE AG, "wasted, baked, fried, cheeched, dank, stupid, wrecked, all words used to describe a medicine."

I have Netflix, too, but yeah, Hulu, Netflix, Internet.
I only have 2 TVs. I pay $47.49 for Hulu Live. That includes Live TV (only channel that's missing really is AMC), On Demand TV with no ads and Cloud DVR.

to call Northland Cable in Seneca and ask them to run a single coaxial cable all the way to your house.

I've been stalking YouTube TV for months. When I checked yesterday, it IS available in the area. I plan to move to it after researching the streaming options.

Youtube TV has a good bit more channels that Hulu live.
Jan 24, 2019, 10:30 AM
|

It also has "6 DRV's", and allows 3 streams at a time.

6 'accounts' each with own DVR, I guess...but it's unlimited
Jan 24, 2019, 10:33 AM
[ in reply to Youtube TV has a good bit more channels that Hulu live. ] |

and yeah, 3 of those 6 can stream simultaneously.
Also, @F-Section, it depends on where you check the availability checker thingy....apparently, my workplace blocks part of that function, so it only returns "Not available in your area" or whatever, no matter what zip i put in.
Do the same on my phone, or at home, and VIOLA, it's available

Really enjoy it. Everything seems to work just fine and its easy to navigate everything. Ive had an issue with buffering, but I think that is an internet issue and not necessarily a Vue issue.

I use Sling during football season.

$30 for some decent channels plus the espns I need. Basketball season isn't as good since we play on the fox sports stuff and I don't want to pay more for it.
Only watch one tv at a time at my house though

haven't paid for TV in over 2 years.
All CFB, NFL, MMA on reddit FTW.
I don't miss anything I want to see. I may have to watch it a day later, but I did that with Dish anyway. DVR and watch whenever. KODI is basically a huge DVR, with every channel and provider.

I tried KODI, but just couldn't get into it
Jan 24, 2019, 12:16 PM

not to mention that the add-ons I was set up with (by friend) were completely unreliable, and IF they worked, quality was usually less than acceptable.
Plus, it doesn't (didn't) work on Roku

I use Amazon FireStick. Add-ons do change, or links go bad from sources within them.
Current working setup:
TV Shows and Movies:
Exodus
Incursion
Placenta
Live TV:
cCloud TV
Mobdro
One good "setup" workflow would be to install Supreme Builds, and allow it to update (actually prompts you to install updates). Keep good working add ons that way.
I also have another app that installs right on top of Firestick (like KODI does) called FreeFlixTV. Stupid ads at times, but good selections.

fortunately I've not developed a substance dependency forcing me to use up my disposable income on oddly-named beer products, so I am still well off enough to splurge on the old reliable satellite dish.
But there's always tomorrow to worry about.

I had Sling; now have Vue

I had sling but canceled after they billed be over $100 for a boxing match that I didnt order.
literally, I was sitting at the dinner table when I get a "receipt" of purchase of a boxing match. I immediately called Sling and they refused to cancel the "order." I filed a complaint with AMEX and I won out; canceled Sling and signed up for Vue and havent looked back.

Just signed up for Youtube TV in Florence yesterday
Jan 24, 2019, 2:13 PM
|
|
I had just signed up for a trial of Hulu Live TV this week, when I saw Youtube TV went national yesterday.
Already canceled the Hulu - Youtube TV is a lot more streamlined and easier to navigate. Canceled the ol Directv today, too.
Pro tip from Reddit: if you have anyone of the female persuasion that needs HGTV and all of the reality TV that Youtube doesn't have, you can get for Philo TV for $16/mo.

1.5TB+ a month. Have Sling. Pretty good. If you're paying by bandwidth I'd pass. Streaming uses a ton. Sling like 58 bucks and get sports package and Hallmark for the wife.
