Best streaming

I finally got fiber in my area (couldn’t even get cable before)… I’m leaning towards DirecTV Stream for Bally (RSN). Any other suggestions ? I’d like to get rid of DirecTV, but it looks like I’m stuck with them on the stream side (sports wise)

little different. I tried all of them when we got fiber on the street and got rid of satellite. Sling. Hulu. Playstation. Directnow. Youtubetv. Decided on Playstation at the time, which was before Youtubetv added a group of channels I liked. But then Sony just killed the Playstation streaming. Moved to youtubetv and have been happy with it. Don't get history and a couple of others I like, but it's got most of them.

If you have this option youtubetv is the way to go. It has the best and most user friendly interface by far for a college football/sports fan.

One word of warning. If you have Roku boxes, I have seen problems with the DTV app. A brief audio dropout about every 10 secs. It’s really irritating and it’s been months without a fix.

YoutubeTV is my "cable" format, but I pay LESS for YoutubeTV + Netflix + Disney+ + Hulu + paramount+ COMBINED (internet included) than my parents and in-laws pay for standard cable/internet.
kinda crazy.

pretty crappy though. But I put our phones on wi-fi calling and get great phone signal inside the house! I need to add a booster to improve my signal out in my yard!

I use Eeros throughout my house to boost signal and gives great coverage even outdoors, but that signal issue also has to do with what materials was used to build your house. Not sure if you are saying you are wanting to boost WiFi or cell tower coverage. My suggestions were just for Wi-Fi signal.
A product called Plume also does very well.

We switched from Direct TV after almost 20 years with them and went with YoutubeTV. Best move we ever made. Love it.

I switched to YouTubeTV 4 years ago from Direct TV
Jan 19, 2023, 7:25 PM
|

I don't save that much since I only had one TV on Direct and kept the price down around $70, but only by calling them every few months ad threatening to cancel. Actually did twice in the last year and they sent me a $300 Visa card to sign back up! It made my net cost only $35 per month!
But I hated the DTV business model of jacking the price up and making you beg to get it back down. So many folks don't call them like I did, and are getting absolutely robbed by DTV, paying $2-300 per month!
YouTube has gone up a couple times in the last four years, so it's $65 plus tax now, but they have added more channels. And I can have three devices for that same price!
The only thing I'm missing at all are the Bally regional channels, but seems like they are often blacked out anyway!

Originally YouTube TV carried Bally's channels, but apparently, Bally priced itself out of the lineup.

It’s a never ending battle with service providers and the monies wanted to carry their channels. A lot of these channels are sold in small groups owned by the same company and if no deal is negotiated you may lose 1 or 2 channels that you liked but in reality you may have lost 5 or 6 and had no clue because you never watched them.
They negotiate these deals based on the number of subscribers and the prices they negotiate are different for every CATV and streaming provider.
These apps are the future and will allow you to pay for what you want.
I currently work for a CATV company and we just switched our platform over to Stream and are now taking out all these digital boxes. They carry a lot more channels than what I’m getting on Youtubetv but they are also a lot more expensive. I do pay for our companies internet which at the end of the day is where the money is at. The money you make or should I say don’t make on CATV would surprise a lot of people. As soon as they can get the fiber ran to most of these rural areas I expect satellite will start to be pushed out. Fiber can run all our services and we have started to phase our current copper infrastructure as well. Been there 27 years in March and the changes I have seen blows my mind.

I started with Playstation TV then it was cancelled...

I then switched to YouTube TV but they kept getting into contract arguments with everyone from channel providers to app hosts (i.e. ESPN, Roku etc...) and would lose content until those disputes were settled. I got tired of the constant yo-yo game with YouTube TV and decided to try Fubo TV and have never looked back.
Been with Fubo TV for almost 2 years - never lost any channels (temporary or otherwise) due to contract disputes and if you like sports I think it is the best overall sports streamer out there. When I had YouTube TV I also subscribed to Philo in order to get some of the channels YouTube TV didn't have (AHC - American Heroes Channel and a few others like it). I found that Fubo TV has all of them and throws in Curiosity Stream as well so having everything by one streamer for the same cost was a plus.
Overall I'm very happy with Fubo TV - the streaming quality is top rate, the 1000 hours of DVR space is more than enough for me, their app is very good and is available on all the major platforms/streaming boxes/TV brands.

Fubo a few months ago, and didn't like their interface as well as YouTube's. I've tried most all of the streamers and YouTubeTV has the best interface for me.

They do or will soon. I just got an email from FuboTV that they are going up $5.00 per month in February because they are adding Bally Sports. From the email:
Adding these networks gives FuboTV subscribers access to their respective local Bally Sports channels, including:
Bally Sports Arizona
Bally Sports Oklahoma
Bally Sports Detroit
Bally Sports San Diego
Bally Sports Florida
Bally Sports SoCal
Bally Sports Great Lakes
Bally Sports South
Bally Sports Indiana
Bally Sports Southeast
Bally Sports Kansas City
Bally Sports Southwest
Bally Sports Midwest
Bally Sports Sun
Bally Sports New Orleans
Bally Sports West
Bally Sports North
Bally Sports Wisconsin
Bally Sports Ohio
