I switched over from Dish and guess it’s just harder to navigate and get the channels that you want to watch.
But it is priced reasonably.
I can’t really compare it to you tube or another streaming channel. Because I have not tried the others .




It's important to be able to find channels easily. During football season you want to be able to switch from one game to another fairly easily.

FUBO has a pretty good interface and you can isolate all of the college football games so you can scroll through them and switch quickly. The one thing I did not like about it, is once the alloted time frame for the game passed, it would disappear from the interface even though the game was still going on. So you needed to pay close attention to what channels the games you might want to switch to came on.


Right now I am leaning a bit to trying YouTube, but out of familiarity I might stick to FUBO. I'll probably decide this week and pick up the service.

Thanks for your input!

I'm also using this thread, and a few other equivalent ones on other boards, to make a decision. Looks like we're losing our college football coverage here in the UK . So I'll wait 'til next weekend and see what's on the planner. If that's indeed the case, kind of leaning towards YouTube TV from a general consensus. Seems a bit more friendly for us expats.

Thanks to everybody.

Sling has a tendency to freeze up and you have to turn off the power to your tv and turn it back on.
I have 65” Samsung curved screen in the living room.
I use a 65” Samsung plasma in the den.
So I know it’s my the TVs

If, and I say IF!! You are somewhat tech savvy, look into Kodi Nexus.

I had heard that about Sling. I have just about decided to give YouTube a try.

I have a70" Samsung in the great room and a 60" Samsung in the bedroom. The one in the bedroom overtakes it, and is way too big, but I wanted the bigger TV in the great room and didn't want to get rid of the 60"....so....in the bedroom it went.

I pay $10 for an IPTV service and have 6000 US channels. It’s great.

I am looking at YouTube and have heard they stream sports in 4K

While technically true, unless they've changed something, only one or two college football games per week are even broadcast in 4K, and those are oftentimes OOC.

Thus, the 4K package will get you 4K, but check what's actually available on the network schedule first.

I had it for a couple of seasons and removed it because I just never used it, outside of those random "look how good this looks!" moments.

Hopefully the selection will improve over time, though.

I'm still salty that Sony did away with this. I loved the PSVue setup.
