This 4 screen option is something I would like, but I assume you need to pay extra for it? ,

One thing that I need to decide if I want to stay with Hulu.

I like the price point of Hulu and that I can stream it unlimited.
I love the fact that espn+ is integrated with Hulu so I never leave the hulu app to watch all the espn + games.

what I hate about Hulu is you can't organize sequentially your tv guide and the rewind/fast forward feature is garbage.

My understanding is that you will not unless they decide to only make that feature available if you buy the NFL Sunday Ticket package but I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere yet.

At least Hulu let's you have a favorites list so I don't have to scroll through a bunch of garbage
I wish Hulu would let me set my damn home location. Where we are it puts us on all the Minnesota local stations not the Des Moines ones. With YouTube TV I can cheat it by turning my wifi off of my phone to set my current location

On YouTube TV you can customize your guide listing through the YouTube TV app on your phone, or at your computer. You can completely remove channels you don’t want and order the channels you keep however you’d like. After you save it will update across all of your apps including the tv.

With YouTubeTV you can arrange the channels in any order you want on your Live guide, and hide any channels you don’t want to see.

It‘s still kind of a pain to scroll all the way through, but I kind of have mine arranged with networks in one group, news channels in another, sports all grouped together, etc. It also took me way longer than I want to admit to find out that you can press down on the screen you’re watching and then scroll sideways through the channels while the program keeps playing … and also when you do that the last couple of most recent channels you were watching come up first. So it’s actually not that hard to flip back and forth between three college football games, for example.

Is it true that YTTV is the only place to get Sunday ticket for NFL? If that is the case and If Purdy is named the starter next year I may have to switch from Hulu to YouTube.

You can reorder your guide on Youtube TV, you just have to login to the website I order to do it. I have all of the channels that show sports at the top of my guide because that’s really why I have it.

You know you can change the order of YouTubes guide. Go online and you can move your favorites to the top and least favorites to the bottom.

Yes, Youtube TV or Youtube Premium I believe is the only place you will be able to get NFL Sunday Ticket Next season.

I know. That’s not a numbering system though.

By choice? As stated...you can place the channels in any order you wish to by going to the mobile app or a computer screen. Whatever order you establish is used across all viewing options. During March Madness I put the four networks that broadcast the tourney at the top of my guide.

Would you just assign random numbers on your own? The only channels that would have a legitimate number would be the over the air stations. But I could understand if you wanted say...ESPN to be channel 25 and you would remember that...it would be easy to press the number 25 into a remote...if your remote had numbers.

Yep. It’s easy to type numbers in to the search too.

Anyone know if you will be able to purchase NFL Sunday ticket through YouTube without purchasing their TV package?
