Comment from : Michael Saves

I subscribe to Sling for the month of October for MLB playoffs Sling Orange for the Wild Card round, which is all on ESPN When that is over, I switch to Blue and get FS1 and TBS for Division and Championship rounds The World Series airs on OTA FOX, which is on Sling in some markets, but not in mine But luckily, I have an antenna, so I can avoid a more expensive service like YTTVbrbrOther than baseball, I have little use for live TV The Red Sox have a standalone app that saves me from having to pay for Fubo pr DTV Stream I do like Philo, but may switch to Frndly because they're getting MeTV+ and I really want that channel It's not available OTA around herebrbrBut I refuse to pay for locals or news channels

Comment from : Mike Rose 🌹

I cancelled all my subs Now I go to the library and get books for FREE The TV is relegated to showing NFL on OTA stations
Comment from : Bob K

Comment from : Robert Paxman

I only want to stream nfl football Looking at sling Vidgo and fubo tv Out on YouTube tv hated it last year Also not considering nfl plus premium to get redzone Not sure if it will work on roku for full screen tv or mobile only?
Comment from : Ace of Spades

YoutubeTV really needs a customer service lineI only signed up a few weeks ago & it has been nothing but trouble I are about ready to go back to cable The latest hiccup is our location We live in Indiana For some reason our viewing area is now the Ft Myers/Naples FL I have tried & tried to change it back with no luck & the warning is you can only change locations twice in a year I really don't understand what's happening here I certainly didn't change our area to FL I know I'm not particularly tech savvy, but all this should be much simpler than it is
Comment from : Eleanor Hooker

Hi Michael I just found your channel a couple of weeks ago and love your videos! So many helpful tips for cord cutting! I have a question for you regarding youtubetv Do they ever get into "disagreements" with providers like what is currently happening with spectrum and disney owned channels? All disney owned channels have been pulled from spectrum Does that ever hwppen with youtubetv?
Comment from : Worked Hard, Flew Right

YouTube tv now is the new home for NFL SUNDAY TICKET I CAN FINALLY WATCH THE ENTIRE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS SEASON!
Comment from : Vincent Vaughan

Try boosted tv 📺
Comment from : Boosted reloaded tv

Real review I’ve had them ALL Direct tv is by far the best Best interface best picture quality best app most real channels not fillers or stupid stuff you won’t watch edit : you can now cancel online without talking to anyone just a few clicks so a trial with them is no hassle
Comment from : Dane Moreno

I live in Houston and have Sling I get just two locals, ABC and the Fox affiliate, no NBC
Comment from : Michael Proctor

I rather go back to cable, it's actually cheaper now
Comment from : zack nelson

What do you recommend if I just wanna watch NFL games
Comment from : Amaterasu

YouTube TV offers better picture quality on all of its programs and also better sound quality, but does lack some programming choices that Hulu does have It's kind of a Ying Yang of the 2
Comment from : MichaelH

Fubo tv is the way to go!
Comment from : You Are Voices

I am back on YouTube TV Are there any streaming devices that have a remote that lights up in the dark?
Comment from : Jim Rattmann

I wish youtubetv would let you add red zone at a lower cost
Comment from : sportsMike87

Currently in North Dakota DirecTV/Stream is in dispute with Nexstar who owns the local CBS and I’m thinking on switching my service address to LA or NY Somewhere where there are owned & operated networks but other than that DirecTV stream is a great service
Comment from : Lozin

The first company to truly offer all the major networks and a true a la carte service will crush all the competition!!!
Comment from : jmcgowen1212

Can you record a NFL team say Jags and not record other games
Comment from : Ken Manies

Directv stream does have regional sports fees, but not included in the price
Comment from : CaptainWingMan

i loved hulu + live tv but it was SOOOO laggy on my google tv chromecast
Comment from : Zachary Charlier

I like YouTube TV MAINLY just because I don’t need to have any cordsbrbrbrbrbrbrbrI wish However Hulu would have a free trial for us so we could try it out for a week
Comment from : Mr Unholy

which one of the major streaming services will be the first to go under and which one of the small streaming services will be the first to go under (if it hasn't done it already?)
Comment from : Scott R

For a Spanish speaking person like me Sling is the best I can find soccer novelas music news carnaval movies and beautiful señoritas lol or if you want to learn the language is really the best deal all other services don't have the Spanish language lineup that Sling has
Comment from : juan carlos

They come up with a new concept and people are ready to pay upfront
Comment from : ddvantandar

These videos are GREAT Thanks! I just found you today, as my DirectTV went up $70 and when I called to cancel they only offered to lower by $20 Bye bye DTV The sad thing is I just retired and I have a TON of stuff recorded that I will lose at the end of the month (that I never had time to watch when I was working) I know, these are first world problems!
Comment from : Joseph Thomas

Comment from : Tommy Marr

Got rid of Xfinity because I was sick of paying 400 bucks, YouTube TV is awesome and cost less!
Comment from : Billy Ricker

I’m new to cutting the cable cord We want access to the local ABC, NBC, and CBS feeds That’s it brbrWe have streaming subscriptions like PBS, Disney+/ESPN, and Amazon Prime So we just want the big three broadcast channels An antenna won’t work given we live in the deep woods with tall maple trees surrounding our house Can we just pay those three separately and save?
Comment from : Michael Heath

It has TBS TNT fubotv
Comment from : Jay

I tried Pluto recently and not bad Thanks for your info
Comment from : Amazing Philippines

I wouldn't give a shiny nickel for any of them The content today is all garbage
Comment from : Dr Elvis H Christ

I wanna watch History channel , dateline (new episodes) & discovery + & National Geographic Is Hulu live + the best option for me ?
Comment from : Kayleen Braden

The big con is all will jack up their price every 2 years
Comment from : Mark

Attention! Hulu went woke!! I guess they are still drinking Bud Light too
Comment from : Steve

is there a video on how to save on the NFL Sunday ticket ? that thing is expensive A F !
Comment from : Jonathan L

The important thing for many of us is does it include all the ESPN channels, including +, and Fox Sports 1 & 2
Comment from : Tim Turner

You had a pros/cons slide graphic for YouTube but not the others which would have been nice
Comment from : Carl D

Thank you for confirming that cable TV is still the best option for me over streaming
Comment from : Jim True

Hulu will soon be bought out by Disney which is a no deal for me Go woke go broke
Comment from : Darren Daine

Hey Michael I hate the fact that some of the streaming services make it hard for you to unsubscribe The way some of them are set up it's a pain to unsub
Comment from : Michael Wyckoff

Remember everyone, can always watch highlights from every sport out there on YouTube for free That extra $$ we don’t spend for live tv helps put nice steaks on the table and full tanks of gas!! Just saying 😀 also concerts and festivals are all over YouTube
Comment from : Grant S

Fuck Hulubrbr- 🇨🇦
Comment from : VE7NDE

The OTA networks (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC) should put a streaming app/package together for say $16/month where you could get them live AND have streaming content accessible so you could watch all past episodes (eliminating the need for DVR) I wouldn't even care if they left in the commercials as long as the streams were rock solid Maybe you get the ability to ffwd thru commercials for an extra $4 ($1 per network)?brThat would be something I would seriously consider even though I have a rooftop antenna Sometimes I have shows that air at the same time on different networks so this would solve thator I could just binge on some old Dateline (pick your poison) episodes if I was in veg mode brSell directly to consumer instead of selling their package to the cable company!? They all have their own apps anywaybundle them together
Comment from : pr872

I had Directv satellite for 16 years and when cancelled to go to YouTube TV their customer service was terrible I would never go back to Directv in any format Very happy with YouTube TV so far
Comment from : Bob Fredericks

For me, I combine YouTube TV & Philo (including the $3 Movies & More add on) brThese 2 services combined make up a full cable line up but still comes in $14 pm cheaper than the Direct TV Stream Ultimate + Movies Extra plan
Comment from : Christopher Roskam

Hi Michael, if you were to subscribe to a paid sling tv plan, will it automatically be integrated with their freestream service? Thanks
Comment from : Sean Reza

Just a heads upi got hulu and come to find out the disney+ that comes with it come to find out the disney+ no longer works on the roku tvsi could not watch the Disney cause roku remove the appso i got a hold of hulu and they knew about but they do not tell people that when they sign up for itsooo i got my money back and went to sling
Comment from : Shanna1

I think a con for YT TV is that we've seen YT sensor quite a bit the past couple of years so in time they could direct viewing only to what the current narrative is JMHO
Comment from : Debra D

What about commercials on live shows on YT TV? Do you have to watch the commercial or is there a way to fast forward during live shows on YT TV?
Comment from : Remnant Warrior

Since the pricing is competitive, DirecTV Stream for Now and plus, we can reach a Live Representative, which we Prefer…
Comment from : CECE1839

I have Slingtv and love it
Comment from : Maureen Solis

I just heard that Hulu live TV is getting rid of their app and combining Disney plus What exactly is going on with Hulu live tv and Disney
Comment from : fred reed

Thank you for calling out that Hulu can let you record "New only" episodes Do you know if any other ones let you record only new episodes? I know Philo doesn't Sling? DirecTV? Thanks
Comment from : Metal_Horses

I really don't think most of these live TV services are worth the money We have been very happy with our outdoor antenna and plex server We find that with one paid streaming service, currently Paramount we have so much to watch with over the air and the free channels plex offers plus our own collection of TV shows and movies brI think Sling and airtv would be good too and require a little less setup I see alot of people who are interested in cutting the cord want it to be super easy like paying the cable company only cheaper and not have to change or learn to watch a new way which is something you have to be able to do to be successful and happy witj cord cutting
Comment from : Michael Parks

I liked Philo in part but their DVR system got me to switch to frndly tv Philo's DVR system is very weird & it's hard to see what the new episodes are that are recorded & it wouldn't even record from MeTV for daily shows that were also available on another channel I had youtubetv for a few months but I have to say, I dislike their live guide a lot; enough to make me switch, at the time, to slingtv which was doing ok but when they bumped their price a few months ago, for what I'd have been paying, I could go with either youtubetv again or Hulu Live so I went with hulu simply because I also need espn+ for the Bundesliga games so this way I'm saving over $20 compared to having something like youtubetv & espn+ or even slingtv & espn+ So for now, I use Hulu Live tv which also has its drawbacks at times along with frndly tv to get the most I need out of live television
Comment from : Mike Sexton

None of the options are good It seems that all the streaming services are also hemorrhaging subscribers because the content is horrendous and the cost is too much In some cases you can still get Directv for cheaper than these streaming services if you call and ask for discounts I don’t watch but a handful of channels and I am a sports fan I need RSN options and now that ESPN owns almost all sports content you have no choice to have a provider with an RSN and have ESPN+ brbrI have used Hulu, Netflix, Apple TV+ The original content is a good on the first 2 but superior on ATv+ All in all if you want to watch TV you have to pay for content
Comment from : MEHMD1

Great video I have YouTube tv and added FrndlyTV for A&E and History Pay the yearly for FrndlyTV and your done for a year For us this is the best alternative to cable
Comment from : thestingerjosh

I'm still on the old Library on YTTV One thing I dislike about it is that the New in Your Library view always shows news shows first, even if they were recorded before non-news shows It would be better if they showed all content in reverse chronological order in this view The way it is currently makes finding the show I'm looking for needlessly tedious, so I just use the Shows view instead
Comment from : Gary K

I love Hulu + Live TV I get all of the sports I need, and I don't need the extra entertainment channels that only have reality garbage I can record anything I want - shows or seasons - and I get Disney+ and ESPN+ included It's WAY better than YouTube Live TV!!
Comment from : Jim Roscovius

Great job explaining each service Since I can get all my local channels over the air and don't watch sports I picked Philo It's the best choice for me
Comment from : roadtripboy

The thing I like about Sling is that I can move back-and-forth between the orange and the blue plan during football season and it doesn’t cost me extra Just the $40 a month Plus you also now get the sling live stream which is another 300 channels If you are a single person, Sling is a great optionbrbrRegarding Philo, if you are a T-Mobile customer, you can get Philo for only $15 a month for 12 months That is an outstanding deal
Comment from : Shackdaddy

I have tried them all I work second shift so I have TV pretty much on my schedule when I get home and I stick with YouTube TV because it is the most flexible in terms of content and while it’s pricey I just do not get good antenna reception in my bedroom Due to my north facing wall where all the transmitters are facing south I would retry Hulu live TV if they ever upgraded their UI it’s very hard on my eyesight
Comment from : Matt Seplak

What about Vidgo?
Comment from : Brian P

What do you use to make and edit your amazing streaming videos?? Thank you buddy
Comment from : Linc Ryan

You have saved me so much money! Thank you! I went from $206 with Directv a month to approximately $100 for YouTube TV plus a few streaming services! br
Comment from : Cheryl B

Directv Stream all the way!!!!!
Comment from : David Toliver

I wish you can pick the channels you want that would make it cheaper for customers I think because there is a lot of channels I don't watch
Comment from : Denver Williams

Nothing new here same ole stuff just higher prices
Comment from : Sky

Heads up, they don't include the cost for internet service I can live without DVR
Comment from : kclefthanded 427

I’ve used cable for 14 years Through Comcast Xfinity (xfinity internet too), I’ve been wanting to cut the cord for a few months now, I love the on demand on xfinity and that’s the only reason I have it I was thinking to cancel it and buy Hulu live tv or YouTube tv
Comment from : eTides

Good Video, I just went back to Youtube TV because of the sports, all my locals and regional sports networks and I hear on June 1 they are adding back the Tennis Channel, I am in Heaven!
Comment from : J I

YouTube TV and Hulu are basically cable 20 Sling Blue + Orange, total TV add on and an antenna for locals is the way to go if you want the equivalent of a full cable package at more than a 50 discount than cable
Comment from : Kevin T

There are ALWAYS down sides
Comment from : Tyro James

I refuse to buy ant service that requires me to call or chat to cancel It just irritates me an reminds me of Dish satellite
Comment from : Ian Butler

I have Hulu live and the biggest problem I have is the locals aren't at the top of the channel guide and the guide doesn't use numbers for the channels They're in alphabetical order
Comment from : Mr Blue Sky

I don't pay for Live Tv I pay youtube premium with music I'm happy 😁
Comment from : Gary Alwine

We dropped Comcast & use Direct TV Stream in January 2023 - Great on every feature I have a AT&T store about five miles from my house Got to try it before signing up Have it on 3 home TV's and one phone We purchase 3 of their boxes Never go back to Comcast Comcast stay off my grass and go away 🚂
Comment from : trainroomgary

Youtube Live TV sucks as well as Hulu Live, they are both full of commercials, you can't skip the commercials on the DVR With all the damn commercials of live tv I should be paid to watch the crap
Comment from : admtahoe

Glad to see that I'm still doing the right thing by entrusting my digital existence to Google! Thanks
Comment from : kat78681

When we cut the cord for YTTV we added FrndlyTV for the few cable channels missing from YTTV However, after a few months, we found that we lost interest in those shows - out of sight, out of mind
Comment from : S Mark

This video is REALLY HELPFUL and I like how you explain every streaming service I myself am NOT a sports fan, but I LOVE YouTube TV & Philo for my streaming services because they work for me
Comment from : Tennille Walker

YouTube TV been trying to catch up DirectTV prices i see, only because a large of people must have switch over to YTTV in 3yrsand when YTTV prices reach $85 above good riddance man85 bucks im saving
Comment from : Route77

Another con for Hulu + live TV: it's not compatible with the T-Mobile home internet
Comment from : DD OBrien

Which is your too two in order that also has best sports streaming etc???
Comment from : Mr Steel

With me sling has me hooked Everytime I leave Sling for a better service, I end up coming back to Sling But I always gotta call out for the cheaper Services in 2023 like Sling, Philo and Frndly 720p Max resolution is a eyesore on a 4K display
