I currently have cable tv so I can have SEC Network. Has anyone used Hulu+ Live TV to stream SEC Network? If so are there any pros/cons that you have experienced?

I have YouTube TV and love it! Unlimited storage and you can be on 6 devices at once.

Also can use anywhere you have an internet connection and can be watched on any smartphone, smart tv, tablet, computer and laptop.

+1 on YouTubeTv. The guide on Hulu sucks. But both have free trials that are easy to cancel, so why not try them out?

Also, RIP PS Vue.

I started with Hulu+Live so I’m used to the UI. When they added all of ESPN+ to Hulu, it saved a bunch of back and forth. That’ll be nice during baseball season.

I agree with the folks saying the YouTube TV is better and the guide is better. I had it for quite some time.

But I get a bette deal bundling Hulu Live with ESPN+ and Disney Plus. Which I have family members that watch a lot of those. So I go for savings currently.

I had to also have Philo (61 channels) for $20 a month to make up for YT's lack of channel lineup.

Then YT has the brilliant idea to add 8 channels, mainly the music channels, that I already had thru Philo and raise my rate by $15 a month.

I was paying 20 for 61 channels and YT decides to charge $15 for 8 channels. 8 that I already had.

I canceled YT the morning I got the email and have never looked back

You can bundle so much more with Hulu. Definitely a better deal than YouTube TV quite honestly.

I have been using it. I only get live TV during college football season.

However, next year I am going to switch to fubu.tv, it's much better. I did a 1 week trial, and loved it.

In addition to the game, you also get live stats with the click of the button. All the stats you would get by going to espn.com. You can turn it off and on as needed, really convenient.

Additionally, the games are really easy to find, as well as the scores for all the games. You can scroll the scores, click the score and you get the game. And the stats makes it really nice because when I switch over to a game I'm interested in, I can immediately see the stats to get a better clue what's going on. I click around the games easily.

With Hulu, and all the others, their guides suck arse. It's like the old guides from the 90s. Some of the games they highlight in the sports section, but you still often times have to search on the guide.

The bonus for hulu is it can be a tiny bit cheaper if you already have hulu for the library and only count the difference, but it's very minor IMO.

I've been streaming for about 10 years, tried them all and here are my rankings as far as sports goes:

1. Fubu.tv
2. Hulu Live
3. YouTube
4-9. Any other service.
10. Sling TV

This isn't really true. You're going to need an antenna to watch local channels like CBS/Fox. Or pay for them separately(CBS is $5 last I looked).

They also buffer way more often than the others, and they are a shitty company in general. There is a reason they don't give refunds.

They've gotten worse over the years also. I tried to give them a try at the start of last season. Within a week I was back on Hulu and just out the money they charged.

I cut cable about 2 months ago. I have since had zero trouble with YoutubeTV.

Reading 3down10's post, I will definitely give fubu a look.

I tried Fubo for a couple weeks last year when YouTube lost ESPN.

I liked the ability to watch 4 channels at once(AppleTV only). YouTubeTV is adding that soon though.
