I apologize for not finding an existing thread but my search was page after page of realignment.

So I get home tonight and Hulu is off due to a payment error ( turns out I only had $63 available in checking) . Rather than transfer money and reactivate thought it might be a great opportunity to do a 7 day free trial and see if I like something better. Hoping for some recommendations and find out if anyone has a special that might get me discounted upgrades such as free ESPN+. I know it's a four letter word around here but for now we have to accept it.

All of my sets are smart tv or have a Roku. Thanks in advance.

YouTubeTV is probably best from breadth of channels and storage. Also easy to control quality of video to avoid data limits.

Hulu is nice because they have movie/show library to compliment broad channel lineup. Up

Currently have FuboTV because they have Marquee Network. Their channel lineup isn't as broad. Interface seems a little more basic.

Have used sling. Lower prices with limited channel lineup and interface is a bit wonky.

I use Roku with my TV's

YouTubeTV is best service and largest selection.
SlingTV is cheapest while still providing the very basic necessities (ESPN 1/2, History)

Depends on what channels you're into. I just switched from Mediacom to Hulu Live TV. Also considered YouTube TV but it doesn't carry History Channel and that's a non-starter for me.

It took me forever to make the switch from Mediacom to YTTV. It really doesn't save me any money or provide any more channels but I just like it better overall.

Not exactly sure.

We save about 50 bucks a month. The cable bill was pushing 125 bucks or so. We now pay about 85-90 (includes 10 bucks to double the speed) Hulu live had a big bump at the start of the year. That is also with the Disney and ESPN+ bundle.
