New season, how ya streamin’
Now that football season is a week away, it’s time to bring back TV. What is the best streaming service?
I’ve had directvnow and Hulu plus live sports in the past. looks like pricing has went up across the board since I cancelled after football season last year.
what are you guys using this year? Any of the big names missing any sports channels we’ll need this season?

My stream is fine, thanks!

Damn. You beat me to it.

I used to use PS Vue and YouTube TV for years. Also dabbled with Sling and Hulu Live for trials or short stretches.
At this point with Comcast it's actually slightly cheaper for me to have internet + tv than internet and YouTube TV. Streaming has gotten too expensive with too many channels and comcast internet prices suck as a standalone.

I recently moved to Hulu live, Disney +, and ESPN + for $69.99. I was already paying for the three services but without the live, so I went up $55 and got rid of my Suddenlink cable. Kept their internet, though at 74.99 for 100 Mbps. I hate them.

Go check Comcast prices. I’m paying $36 a month for the same speed.

We are doing that streaming package with ATT Fiber internet. Switching from Spectrum 100 Mbps to ATT 1 Gbps actually saved us $15/mo too :)

I have my classic DIRECTV, but my friend has hulu and swears by it
October 16th, 2020 at 10:50 PM ^
This. Love my directv!
October 17th, 2020 at 8:27 AM ^
I used to love direcTV too, but it’s so damn expensive. I switched to Hulu and am just as happy with the sports coverage for less than half the price.
October 17th, 2020 at 8:36 AM ^
We’ve been very happy with Hulu Live. Highly recommended
October 17th, 2020 at 8:52 AM ^
Same here! I've had Hulu Live for the past two weeks and love it. I have noticed a bit of a delay in the live sports (I get fantasy updates on my phone slightly before it actually happens on the tv) but other than that it's great.
October 16th, 2020 at 10:44 PM ^
Cable with all the channels. No drama
October 16th, 2020 at 10:48 PM ^
IPTV on my firestick cube
October 16th, 2020 at 10:48 PM ^
I’m probably in the minority but I have had directv for the past 10 years and am very satisfied. They have had great customer service. I have paid 25 bucks a mo for 2 years straight and was never locked into a contract

Comcast. I learned quickly when we went remote at work that I needed to go back to Xfinity wifi or I was going to throw my laptop through a window. And Comcast's internet prices are outrageous standalone.

hulu. price is right, channel line up is right, but it has very bad functionality and virtually no ability to channel surf - unbelievably slow. although, part of that might be because we have the worst internet service in the western world (warning: slight exaggeration)

I ain’t going to lie, things ain’t like they used to be.

I just started Hulu Live TV last weekend. I haven't noticed any hiccups at all. I'm a big fan.
October 17th, 2020 at 1:10 AM ^
Anyone able to recommend an option that allows you to record or DVR or "tivo" the games? And you can use it from outside the US?
I've been using a slingbox for the past 7 years (hooked up to a TV in the US) and it finally kicked the bucket.

Hulu plus after dropping youtube tv after psvue after dropping slingtv after dropping directv.
October 17th, 2020 at 1:52 AM ^
I feel you. I tried Sling early in its life and found the streaming quality to be bad. Then I had DirecTV and I was consistently overcharged, leading to monthly phone calls with customer service reps who had no record of my prior phone calls. I have vowed to never give ATT another penny. I was probably going to get YoutubeTV before they raised their prices. Now I'm with Hulu.
October 17th, 2020 at 1:59 AM ^
I only dropped directv because of the att acquisition. I've always hated that company due to some erroneous billing that messed up my credit score when I was younger and caused me to likely pay thousands of extra dollars in interest on student loans, etc. Unfortunate because I really liked directv. psvue was my favorite streaming service. Sling lagged badly for me too. Could never watch the walking dead without it freezing up. Youtube tv was alright but they jacked up prices too much too fast. We'll see how hulu works out I guess.

Those are some good sites.

Hulu Live. I've had it for 3 years and I'm happy with it. Very good lineup and I'm paying 1/2 as much as I was with Spectrum.
October 17th, 2020 at 8:14 AM ^
Embarrassed to admit I still have cable. At least I get all the live sports I want.
October 17th, 2020 at 10:07 AM ^
Youre probably only paying a few more dollars than the streamers while getting dvr, higher quality picture, less lag and no delay.
At this point with streaming prices i feel like cable is the better deal as long as youre on one of their deals.
October 17th, 2020 at 11:25 PM ^
streaming prices Have definitely risen, but I think the biggest advantage of steaming is actually getting a slightly cheaper price with the lack of a contract. I can basically just have tv during football season with this setup and not worry about cancellation fees
October 17th, 2020 at 8:17 AM ^
Actually, am in the process of moving to Ontario, Canada.
Will be in the London area and haven't a clue what's available, or how to see games in this or future seasons. So am very interested if anyone has suggestions here. We are presently set up for cable from a company called Rogers, but seems rather lacking for US sports programming.
October 17th, 2020 at 9:09 AM ^
DISH for me. We camp quite a bit and they have an easy to use portable set-up as well. Probably overpaying but don't care. The streaming stuff we have dabbled with just didn't have the quality or reliability I'm used to.
