Streaming Services

[Vanimal46]

For the last 10 months or so, I've been using Playstation Vue as my streaming service for cable content. Now I'm reading about Hulu offering a live TV service. As well as DirecTV offering a streaming service called DirecTV Now offering essentially the same thing Playstation Vue does - no annual contract, ~60 channels starting at $35 a month. 

Has anyone used these other services? I'm reconsidering changing my streaming service now that it's summer, and the shows we watch are quite limited.

Also, YouTube TV is coming out soon, and Hulu is joining the live TV battle by offering that to their existing services as well. 

We're finally living in an age of streaming cable services!

the problem is you still need to pay for internet, or bundle phone services, or whatever......heck, getting internet is cheaper with Comcast if you pay for the lowest tier of TV from them!

 

I use Netflix, Amazon Prime, and HBO services right now. If the BBC would actually stream all its shows on its service......

 

Mostly I use Amazon to get shows from AMC, ironically.

Netflix, Amazon Prime, Britbox, Curiosity Stream, and Go90 are my lot, I guess. Contemplating Hulu. Eagerly awaiting the Prime app for Apple TV.

I used sling for a little while. It was alright. Sometimes buffered more than I wanted, but whatever. Also had some shows/movies you could watch on demand. I'd recommend it. No experience with other platforms.

Mike kind of hit the problem on the head, at least where I live. I need comcast so I just have netflix and an HBO package.
