The video discusses the pros and cons of several live TV services, starting with YouTube TV, Hulu Live, DirecTV Stream, fubo, Sling TV, Philo, and Frndly TV.
YouTube TV is praised for its well-rounded channel lineup, unlimited Cloud DVR storage, and good overall user experience. However, it is considered expensive, costing over $70 a month, and users cannot record or delete single episodes in a series.
Hulu Live is considered a good alternative to YouTube TV, with a similar monthly price and channel lineups. It includes the entire Disney bundle and allows users to record a single episode or only new episodes in a series. However, it does not offer a free trial anymore, and its user experience is not as good as YouTube TV.
DirecTV Stream offers four plans, all of which include Valley Regional Sports networks. It is a good option for larger households and people who travel a lot due to its loose streaming limits. However, it requires a chat or call to cancel the subscription.
Fubo offers Regional Sports networks, but it has a regional Sports fee not included in the advertised price. It is recommended only if you are really into Regional Sports networks.
Sling TV is cheaper than YouTube TV and offers two base plans. It doesn't offer complete local coverage, but it is primarily best for people who don't watch locals or can pick them up with an antenna.
Philo is a live TV service that features more than 70 channels, primarily entertainment and lifestyle networks. It is not for news and sports junkies or people who want locals. It offers unlimited Cloud DVR storage and allows users to save recordings for up to a year.
Frndly TV is the most affordable live TV service, offering three plans with the same channel lineup but different features. It offers more than 40 live TV channels and is recommended for those who want a lot of entertainment for a very low price without the sports news and locals.
