I've also found, with Uverse anyway, to have really good results with online chat. My internet + TV is such a good deal I'm sticking with them. I'm also not a fan of 100% streaming.

There are so many services now and most have a lot of good content. At the end of the day it's going to get expensive and/or you have to leave some content off.
Right now I have Uverse (great price), Sling for 4 months (because Uverse dropped NFLN and RZ), Netflix and Prime. I have no interest in Disney. Apple is of interest as some of their announced original (they will only have original) content sounds good and it's only $5.

That was another one I was looking for - both PS Vue (Core for $55/mo or higher packages) and YouTube TV both have it. Hulu not having AMC was the main reason I ruled it out... although I should probably just punt Walking Dead and move on with my life.
Crap.
No AMC (Better Call Saul) is a deal breaker for me.
Another factor to consider.
Thanks!
You should price it out, because if BCS is the only AMC show you watch, you might be better off just buying it from a VOD service.

No issue like that at all from YouTube during the game. I have Charter internet, have zero issues streaming 4k content, so it's not my internet connection. Anyone else have that type of experience with Vue?
That may be the first deal-breaker of its kind.Thunder Muscle wrote:Ryan5UW wrote:I've been talking to a friend at work about dropping cable and the options I was looking at, and he mentioned that a buddy has Vue and he noticed it seemed to buffer from time to time.

I want to get PS Vue Core package but I've heard the same thing from 1 other that it isn't always stable. So I'm nervous to go with them too. YouTubeTV doesnt have Hallmark channel which for my wife is likely a deal breaker. Although there appears to be a Hallmark Movie stand alone channel for 5.99/month.

Same for my wife don’t feel too isolated! Also the stand alone channel (at least as of last year when we tried this) only has older movies so that didn’t work for her.

Think I've buffered once for like 5 seconds since I've had it. Only con is no dolby digital audio.Finn wrote:Anybody subscribe to YouTube TV? Seems to have the best selection of channels as well as the best cloud DVR (unlimited storage, expires in 9 months). Looking for positives/negatives. Thanks.
