We have PlayStation Vue which is going away at end of month.  Have had sling in past but didn’t get local channels and a couple of sports stations.  Leaning toward Hulu.  What is everyone’s recommendation?

YouTube TV is, far and away, the best one out there today. It'll have you local stations included. No other service even comed close to YouTube TV.

For Viacom channels, get Philo as well. Hulu is horrendous for how they do their live streaming.

I still cannot for the life of me understand why content providers don’t understand people don’t want to pay for a massive package of stations I don’t give one damn about. There’s three TV shows that I might watch if I have time and I do not care to spend $50-$70 even on streaming services for these three shows/Stations. I understand bundling gives us the best value potentially, but does value mean that I pay $25 for five stations versus 70 stations for 50 bucks?

I had dish for about eight years. We canceled it last month and use Netflix, Amazon prime, Hulu. It kills me to have all these services but the family does use the Amazon prime and Netflix for some of the on-demand stuff which is not on any other service. But I can’t stand drop and $60For Hulu just to watch the few things on history and discovery channel now that the football season is basically over. I went to YouTube TV and they are doing the same thing. A bunch of channels for a decent price but I don’t want the rest of the channels, why don’t you just do a five dollar per channel  access, It just blows my mind that these people don’t understand this concept

Manly irks me to pay for  telemundo, cnn, msnbc, etc.  why can’t I pick the stations I want instead?

I did not like YouTube TV at all. I guess I just don't watch enough of anything. I love Pluto and it is free. I can always find something to watch. Youtube TV is too expensive and not worth it in my opinion. I thought Sling was better. I get locals over antenna so that is not a concern. I don't know why people pay $40 per month with Youtube TV and they don't really have any content that is even HD. No 4k at all that I could find. Sling has 4k and HD content on most channels and is much cheaper. Pluto has a lot of HD and 4k and costs $0.

YouTube TV does have HD channels. They aren't 4K (I only have access to DSL and don't have 4K TV anyways). Sling really isn't cheaper when you see that you can only do one stream from their "Orange" plan.

How do you watch sports (ESPN, SEC Network, etc...) if you only use Pluto and an antennae?
