Happy with it. Would like NBC (for SNF) and AMC, but for what it costs I’m not going to complain.

I do get NBC, just not WHO.

They told me upfront service included 2 TVs and a device. It's actually 2 total of which one can be a device. Will eventually upgrade to the larger access (6 or8) for another $15.

I do wonder what the Disneys increasing ownership of Hulu will mean in the future, especially with Disney coming out with their own streaming service later this year.

Any CBS or just doesn't have local?

There's just no CBS for me. My understanding is that all of the "Big 4" networks are locally owned, so the streaming services have to make deals individually. There are no "national" feeds. So, which service carries your local channels just depends on where you live. In my case (Richmond, VA), Hulu has apparently made deals with all of them, while PSVue is missing only CBS. It might be the reverse for you. Another thing to note is that they're always updating and adding too - I read something a few months back that PSVue was adding several dozen CBS stations around the country, but unfortunately Richmond was still not one of them.

We had it during the football and basketball seasons. Loved it. Will resubscribe in the fall. Lots of sports options
Same here. Being able to DVR games to the cloud was the clincher for me.

Also Hulu Live had local channels too which Sling and PSVue did not. Not sure if that's still the case but having Fox, CBS, NBC for NFL games was the other deciding factor. I care less about pro sports so it wasn't as big of a deal for me

The guide is pretty bad, I will admit, but I've tried Sling and PSVue and they were both pretty bad imo as well. I chalk it up to being a new technology that's still learning how to improve user experience.

Have never looked at YouTube TV as an option.

Has good sports channels. My only complaint is no AMC (walking dead) and I had to add CBS for $5. The interface isn't the best but you get used to it.
