I guess I am going back to YTTV. I enjoy NFL RedZone to much to live without it. I can handle getting Cubs highlights, and the playoffs will be on TV, provided the Cubs make it.
Quick notes on +/- of the two for my money.
YTTV
- Better user interface
- Better DVR system and storage
- Recordings know when programs end, or quickly adjusted to the end, I don't remember once not seeing the end of a recording on YTTV.
- slightly more pricey
- No Marquee network
HULU Live
- not a fan of the UI, but it isn't horrible
- The swipe up guide that lists your previous channels, and gives you access to a full guide/favorite channels guide is really nice
- Recordings constantly are cut off for live sporting events. They try to get you to the end, but I have only had it for a month or a little more and it has cut off more than one NASCAR and Indy race, it has done the same with baseball. YTTV tech is much better
- That said the two touches to skip commercials is the best tech I have ever had when it comes to watching recorded entertainment. It is super accurate and instead of having to hit the skip forward button 12 times like on YTTV, two taps and you are back to watching programming.
- No NFL Network (not a big deal really) No NFL Redzone (a huge deal for me)
Ultimately I would stay with HULU except for not having NFL Redzone, Not sure there is that much in it between it and YTTV. Football beats baseball in my world.
Overall, I think I miss PS Vue, but that might just be nostalgia talking.
