YouTube TV and Hulu are basically cable 2.0. Sling Blue + Orange, total TV add on and an antenna for locals is the way to go if you want the equivalent of a full cable package at more than a 50% discount than cable.

You have saved me so much money! Thank you! I went from $206 with Directv a month to approximately $100 for YouTube TV plus a few streaming services!

[highspec_tech]

For me, I combine YouTube TV & Philo (including the $3 Movies & More add on).
These 2 services combined make up a full cable line up but still comes in $14 pm cheaper than the Direct TV Stream Ultimate + Movies Extra plan.

I had Directv satellite for 16 years and when cancelled to go to YouTube TV their customer service was terrible. I would never go back to Directv in any format. Very happy with YouTube TV so far.

[roadtripboy]

Great job explaining each service. Since I can get all my local channels over the air and don't watch sports I picked Philo. It's the best choice for me.

[NBKOUTO]

Good Video, I just went back to Youtube TV because of the sports, all my locals and regional sports networks and I hear on June 1 they are adding back the Tennis Channel, I am in Heaven!

[brianmax]

Hi, thanks for all of this great video regarding streaming services. Very interesting and helpful information.

[tennillewalker]

This video is REALLY HELPFUL and I like how you explain every streaming service.. I myself am NOT a sports fan, but I LOVE YouTube TV & Philo for my streaming services because they work for me..

[denverwilliams]

I wish you can pick the channels you want that would make it cheaper for customers I think because there is a lot of channels I don't watch.

[thestingerjosh]

Great video. I have YouTube tv and added FrndlyTV for A&E and History. Pay the yearly for FrndlyTV and your done for a year. For us this is the best alternative to cable.

We've held onto cable for far too long. Just intimidated to cut the cord I guess, but our cable/internet package is costing us $232 a month! I'm thinking about signing up for Frontier Fiber Internet (which is faster and cheaper than Spectrum internet) then going with YouTube TV. That will already be a big savings, but from there I might look into using other/cheaper streaming services after that. Just need to make sure we have all the channels my family likes. We're not a sports family, but I have kids who like Disney and Nick Jr, while I like a myriad of others. TBH, we don't watch much cable, but I still like to have the option to watch it when the mood hits.

Directv stream for us. So far so good with the cable like feel and rsn channels. Thanks Michael

We dropped Comcast & use Direct TV Stream in January 2023 - Great on every feature. I have a AT&T store about five miles from my house. Got to try it before signing up. Have it on 3 home TV's and one phone. We purchase 3 of their boxes. Never go back to Comcast. Comcast stay off my grass and go away. 🚂

I have Hulu live and the biggest problem I have is the locals aren't at the top of the channel guide and the guide doesn't use numbers for the channels. They're in alphabetical order.

[shackdaddy]

The thing I like about Sling is that I can move back-and-forth between the orange and the blue plan during football season and it doesn’t cost me extra. Just the $40 a month. Plus you also now get the sling live stream which is another 300 channels. If you are a single person, Sling is a great option.

Regarding Philo, if you are a T-Mobile customer, you can get Philo for only $15 a month for 12 months. That is an outstanding deal.

[jjmjblessed]

I am a reality TV fan. I have been looking for a streaming service that shows what I like. Philo sounds like great TV for a great price! Thanks 😊

[smark]

When we cut the cord for YTTV we added FrndlyTV for the few cable channels missing from YTTV. However, after a few months, we found that we lost interest in those shows - out of sight, out of mind.

[sportsfan]

I have tried them all. I work second shift so I have TV pretty much on my schedule when I get home and I stick with YouTube TV because it is the most flexible in terms of content and while it’s pricey I just do not get good antenna reception in my bedroom. Due to my north facing wall where all the transmitters are facing south. I would retry Hulu live TV if they ever upgraded their UI it’s very hard on my eyesight.

[bobbyroberts]

Yes just wondering nothing mentioned bout picture quality on these services so which service has best picture quality?
