Hulu adding unlimited DVR is a game-changer. Hulu Plus Live, Disney+, ESPN+ with unlimited DVR for $70 is an almost unbeatable value.

This isn't that big of deal but a nice feature that they have is the playlist option. I could see using that when traveling.

It makes the playing field more even when deciding between YTTV and Hulu. I keep turning YTTV on hoping I get the beta of the new programming guide! That would be a nice surprise!

When you consider that for $5 more with Hulu you also get their entire on-demand library, Disney+ and ESPN+ it's a damn good deal.

I just signed up for Hulu LiveTV.

I still have a email under my parents cable provider that allowed me to stream FOX/ESPN/sports. They did some bill trimming in retirement, and cut most of their cable channels, I no longer have that option...tear.

I chose Hulu because we already do Disney+ and AmEx has an offer for $7 monthly bill credit, to any of the Hulu/Disney/ESPN+ over 13.99.

Just sharing the kNowledge

Bumping this thread.

Can I add two friends at different homes to my YouTube TV subscription for the same cost?

Yes, for now anyways. Probably need to add the 4K package to get more screens away from home. We have our mom on our plan and it works just fine. We do live in the same TV market, so I don’t know how well it works if you don’t.

Edit: It works well to add them as a family member to give them their own login and live guide and such.

Is there any way to stream MLB games including those games of teams in my home market? I would love to drop DirectTv and move to streaming full time, but I am not willing to give up my Cardinal games, even if they do suck this year. I would be willing to pay for the MLB package, but only if I am not going to be blacked out on Cardinal games.

We have had the NFL package for years, and with the switch over to YouTube I signed up the first week, and I watched the pregame for the Chiefs, and when the game started, the bastards blacked me out. Now I found the game on KCCI, but that never happened on the Sunday Ticket on direct. Makes me wonder if I just wasted the money when most of the Chiefs games are going to be shown in our market.

Not sure if it is same where you live, but I have FUBO plus Regional Sports Package. For $15 the package provides Marquee and Bally regional sports channels.

Yes, but you can only stream three screens at any time, and mobile devices count as two.

I share with my in laws. To get around this at least for sports, I utilize the apps of each with the login (ESPN, FoxSports, etc), seems to not be an issue then especially since I have multiple screens going at once.
 
Thread resurrection - because we are old and leery of changing technology, we are slow to make the change to a streaming live TV service. However, Mediacom has just become tooooooo expensive. We would still have to use their internet service to stream on our TVs, but we are planning to drop the cable TV part and the packaged phone part (we haven't used a land line in over 15 years). We don't watch pro ball (NFL, NBA, or MLB, so those don't factor in our decision.

Based on channel selection, inclusion of local channels and ability to record live programming, we have narrowed it down to two options, YouTube + 4G TV and Hulu + live TV.

Those of you that currently have one of those two options, can you tell me what you like or hate about the packages? Sometimes doing side by side comparisons doesn't show the little quirks that can make or break a package or the quality of service.

I haven't yet switched, but I hear you on Mediacom becoming too expensive. Honestly, the one thing keeping me is I like having cyclones.tv and keeping certain games on my dvr. But I'm close to switching too.

My opinion on Hulu vs. YouTube TV is YouTube TV has an interface that is more like regular cable. I don't like the menu system on Hulu.

I love the YTTV guide for scrolling channels. Has most everything that I want for content.

Hulu’s advantage is the integration of ESPN+ if you’ll get that.

To me, the box is just as important as the service. I’ve had Roku’s forever. They’re solid, but I discovered our AppleTV can switch back and forth apps without signing in like the Roku does. So, to switch from Amazon to YTTV on Thursday nights is seamless with the Apple (almost like just changing the channel) and about a 10-15 second process with the Roku. With all the content being spread all over these days, it’s a nice little feature to have. Our Chromecast is better than the Roku, but still not as seamless as the Apple.
